Horizontal gene transfer contributes to plant evolution : the case of Agrobacterium T-DNAs [PDF]

, 2017
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can be defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism without being its offspring. HGT is common in the microbial world including archaea and bacteria, where HGT mechanisms are widely understood and ...

Genome-reconstruction for eukaryotes from complex natural microbial communities [PDF]

Genome Research, 2017
Microbial eukaryotes are integral components of natural microbial communities, and their inclusion is critical for many ecosystem studies, yet the majority of published metagenome analyses ignore eukaryotes. In order to include eukaryotes in environmental studies, we propose a method to recover eukaryotic genomes from complex ...

Reference‐Guided Chromosome‐by‐Chromosome de novo Assembly at Scale Using Low‐Coverage High‐Fidelity Long‐Reads with HiFiCCL

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HiFiCCL, as the first assembly framework specifically designed for low‐coverage high‐fidelity reads, improves the assembly quality of existing assemblers and also enhances downstream applications such as large structural variant (SV) detection (>10 000 bp), synteny analysis, pangenome graph construction, and graph‐based individual‐specific germline SVs

Different structuring factors and distribution patterns of marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities in the subtropical Kuroshio region

Frontiers in Marine Science
To clarify the differences in the effect of environments on community structures and in distribution patterns between marine prokaryotes and microbial eukaryotes, microbial communities were investigated spatially and seasonally in the surface layer of ...

Functional Eubacteria Species Along with Trans-domain Gut Inhabitants Favour Dysgenic Diversity in Oxalate Stone Disease [PDF]

, 2018
Analyses across all three domains of life are necessary to advance our understanding of taxonomic dysbiosis in human diseases. In the present study, we assessed gut microbiota (eubacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes) of recurrent oxalate kidney stone ...

NIR Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Antibacterial Hydrogels for Synergistic MRSA Biofilm Eradication and Wound Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanohybrid hydrogel (Fe‐BOS@C/H Gel) is composed of Fe‐Bi2O2‐XS (Fe‐BOS) photocatalysts and CS‐ADH/OHA (C/H) hydrogel. Fe‐BOS photocatalysts achieve near‐infrared (NIR) light‐driven antibacterial photocatalytic/mild photothermal therapy (APCT/MPTT), effectively eliminating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. The degradation

Blastocystis across humans, animals and the environment in rural Türkiye, and relationships with the human intestinal microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology
Blastocystis is a globally prevalent intestinal protist commonly found in humans and animals, yet its role in health and disease remains ambiguous. This is a cross-sectional study of Blastocystis in rural Türkiye, examining 124 human, 305 livestock ...

Heterotrophic Protists in Hypersaline Microbial Mats and Deep Hypersaline Basin Water Columns

Life, 2013
Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes.

A systematic approach to cancer: evolution beyond selection. [PDF]

, 2017
Cancer is typically scrutinized as a pathological process characterized by chromosomal aberrations and clonal expansion subject to stochastic Darwinian selection within adaptive cellular ecosystems.
