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 ...

Microbial genomics amidst the Arctic crisis [PDF]

, 2020
The Arctic is warming – fast. Microbes in the Arctic play pivotal roles in feedbacks that magnify the impacts of Arctic change. Understanding the genome evolution, diversity and dynamics of Arctic microbes can provide insights relevant for both ...

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?'.

Protein domain architectures provide a fast, efficient and scalable alternative to sequence-based methods for comparative functional genomics [version 3; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2017
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 ...

Evolution of Microbial Genomes: Sequence Acquisition and Loss

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2002
We present models describing the acquisition and deletion of novel sequences in populations of microorganisms. We infer that most novel sequences are neutral. Thus, sequence duplications and gene transfer between organisms sharing the same environment are rarely expected to generate adaptive functions.

Comparing the Influence of Assembly Processes Governing Bacterial Community Succession Based on DNA and RNA Data

Microorganisms, 2020
Quantifying which assembly processes structure microbiomes can assist prediction, manipulation, and engineering of community outcomes. However, the relative importance of these processes might depend on whether DNA or RNA are used, as they differ in ...

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.
