Explaining microbial population genomics through phage predation [PDF]

, 2009
The remarkable diversity of genes within the pool of prokaryotic genomes belonging to the same species or pan-genome is difficult to reconcile with the widely accepted paradigm which asserts that periodic selection within bacterial populations would ...

Rapidly evolving genes and stress adaptation of two desert poplars, Populus euphratica and P. pruinosa [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding which genes have evolved rapidly with the recent tree speciation in arid habitats can provide valuable insights into different adaptation mechanisms. We employed a comparative evolutionary analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from two

Environmental shaping of codon usage and functional adaptation across microbial communities. [PDF]

, 2013
Microbial communities represent the largest portion of the Earth's biomass. Metagenomics projects use high-throughput sequencing to survey these communities and shed light on genetic capabilities that enable microbes to inhabit every corner of the ...

Emergence of a novel lineage containing a prophage in emm/M3 group A Streptococcus associated with upsurge in invasive disease in the UK [PDF]

, 2016
A sudden increase in invasive Group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infections associated with emm/M3 isolates during the winter of 2008/09 prompted the initiation of enhanced surveillance in England.

Biosynthesis, evolution and ecology of microbial terpenoids [PDF]

, 2021
Covering: through June 2021 Terpenoids are the largest class of natural products recognised to date. While mostly known to humans as bioactive plant metabolites and part of essential oils, structurally diverse terpenoids are increasingly reported to be ...

A culture-independent approach to unravel uncultured bacteria and functional genes in a complex microbial community [PDF]

, 2012
Most microorganisms in nature are uncultured with unknown functionality. Sequence-based metagenomics alone answers 'who/what are there?' but not 'what are they doing and who is doing it and how?'.

The genetics of symbiotic nitrogen fixation: Comparative genomics of 14 rhizobia strains by resolution of protein clusters [PDF]

, 2012
The symbiotic relationship between legumes and nitrogen fixing bacteria is critical for agriculture, as it may have profound impacts on lowering costs for farmers, on land sustainability, on soil quality, and on mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions ...

The importance of genome sequence quality to microbial comparative genomics [PDF]

, 2019
The quality of microbial genome sequences has been a concern ever since the emergence of genome sequencing. The quality of the genome assemblies is dependent on the sequencing technology used and the aims for which the sequence was generated.

Dispersal-competition tradeoff in microbiomes in the quest for land colonization

Scientific Reports, 2018
Ancestor microbes started colonizing inland habitats approximately 2.7 to 3.5 billion years ago. With some exceptions, the key physiological adaptations of microbiomes associated with marine-to-land transitions have remained elusive.

Protein domain architectures provide a fast, efficient and scalable alternative to sequence-based methods for comparative functional genomics [version 2; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2016
A functional comparative genome analysis is essential to understand the mechanisms underlying bacterial evolution and adaptation. Detection of functional orthologs using standard global sequence similarity methods faces several problems; the need for ...
