Horizontal gene transfer drives extreme physiological change in Haloarchaea [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 The haloarchaea are aerobic, heterotrophic, photophosphorylating prokaryotes, whose supposed closest relatives and ancestors, the methanogens, are CO2-reducing, anaerobic chemolithotrophs. Using two available haloarchaeal genomes we firstly confirmed the methanogenic ancestry of the group and then investigated those individual genes in the haloarchaea ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.By investigating auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary deafness, this study identified a subpopulation of afferent neurons of the auditory nerve marked by Otogl expression. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl+/− mice display poor activation of afferent neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the middle the ear

The chromosomal organization of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria
Nature Communications, 2017 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important mechanism for genome evolution and adaptation in bacteria. Here, Oliveira and colleagues find HGT hotspots comprising ~ 1% of the chromosomal regions in 80 bacterial species.

Reconstruction of time-consistent species trees [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The history of gene families -- which are equivalent to event-labeled gene trees -- can to some extent be reconstructed from empirically estimated evolutionary event-relations containing pairs of orthologous, paralogous or xenologous genes. The question then arises as whether inferred event-labeled gene trees are "biologically feasible" which is the ...
