Improved microbial gene identification with GLIMMER [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1999 The GLIMMER system for microbial gene identification finds approximately 97-98% of all genes in a genome when compared with published annotation. This paper reports on two new results: (i) significant technical improvements to GLIMMER that improve its accuracy still further, and (ii) a comprehensive evaluation that demonstrates that the accuracy of the

Polytomy identification in microbial phylogenetic reconstruction [PDF]
BMC Systems Biology, 2011 Abstract Background A phylogenetic tree, showing ancestral relations among organisms, is commonly represented as a rooted tree with sets of bifurcating branches (dichotomies) for simplicity, although polytomies (multifurcating branches) may reflect more accurate evolutionary relationships.

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2014 Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

Identification of microbial DNA in human cancer [PDF]
BMC Medical Genomics, 2009 Abstract Background Microorganisms have been associated with many types of human diseases; however, a significant number of clinically important microbial pathogens remain to be discovered. Methods We have developed a genome-wide approach, called Digital Karyotyping ...

Impact of inoculum type on the microbial community and power performance of urine-fed microbial fuel cells [PDF]
, 2020 Bacteria are the driving force of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which benefits from their natural ability to degrade organic matter and generate electricity. The development of an efficient anodic biofilm has a significant impact on the power
