Neurospora from natural populations: Population genomics insights into the Life history of a model microbial Eukaryote [PDF]

Methods in molecular biology, 2020
The ascomycete filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa played a historic role in experimental biology and became a model system for genetic research. Stimulated by a systematic effort to collect wild strains initiated by Stanford geneticist David Perkins ...

RAREFAN: A webservice to identify REPINs and RAYTs in bacterial genomes

Peer Community Journal, 2023
Compared to eukaryotes, repetitive sequences are rare in bacterial genomes and usually do not persist for long. Yet, there is at least one class of persistent prokaryotic mobile genetic elements: REPINs.

Quantitative microbial population study reveals geographical differences in bacterial symbionts of Ixodes ricinus

Microbiome, 2021
Background Ixodes ricinus ticks vector pathogens that cause serious health concerns. Like in other arthropods, the microbiome may affect the tick’s biology, with consequences for pathogen transmission.

Population structure discovery in meta-analyzed microbial communities and inflammatory bowel disease using MMUPHin

Genome Biology, 2022
Microbiome studies of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have achieved a scale for meta-analysis of dysbioses among populations. To enable microbial community meta-analyses generally, we develop MMUPHin for normalization, statistical meta-analysis, and ...
