DAMBE6: New Tools for Microbial Genomics, Phylogenetics, and Molecular Evolution

Journal of Heredity, 2017
DAMBE is a comprehensive software workbench for data analysis in molecular biology, phylogenetics, and evolution. Several important new functions have been added since version 5 of DAMBE: 1) comprehensive genomic profiling of translation initiation ...

Autonomous assembly of synthetic oligonucleotides built from an expanded DNA alphabet. Total synthesis of a gene encoding kanamycin resistance

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014
Background: Many synthetic biologists seek to increase the degree of autonomy in the assembly of long DNA (L-DNA) constructs from short synthetic DNA fragments, which are today quite inexpensive because of automated solid-phase synthesis.

Host-dependent impairment of parasite development and reproduction in the acanthocephalan model

Cell & Bioscience, 2022
Background A central question in parasitology is why parasites mature and reproduce in some host species but not in others. Yet, a better understanding of the inability of parasites to complete their life cycles in less suitable hosts may hold clues for ...

Contrasting Rates of Molecular Evolution and Patterns of Selection among Gymnosperms and Flowering Plants

Molecular biology and evolution, 2017
The majority of variation in rates of molecular evolution among seed plants remains both unexplored and unexplained. Although some attention has been given to flowering plants, reports of molecular evolutionary rates for their sister plant clade ...

Characterization of the BspA and Pmp protein family of trichomonads

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Trichomonas vaginalis is a human-infecting trichomonad and as such the best studied and the only for which the full genome sequence is available considering its parasitic lifestyle, T.

Identification of antiparasitic drug targets using a multi-omics workflow in the acanthocephalan model

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background With the expansion of animal production, parasitic helminths are gaining increasing economic importance. However, application of several established deworming agents can harm treated hosts and environment due to their low specificity ...

Fecundity determines the outcome of founding queen associations in ants

Scientific Reports, 2021
Animal cooperation evolved because of its benefits to the cooperators. Pleometrosis in ants—the cooperation of queens to found a colony—benefits colony growth, but also incurs costs for some of the cooperators because only one queen usually survives the ...

Synthetic molecular evolution of hybrid cell penetrating peptides

Nature Communications, 2018
Peptides and analogs such as peptide nucleic acids (PNA) are promising tools and therapeutics, but the cell membrane remains a barrier to intracellular targets. Conjugation to classical cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) such as pTat48–60 (tat) and pAntp43–

Enzyme-assisted high throughput sequencing of an expanded genetic alphabet at single base resolution

Nature Communications
With just four building blocks, low sequence information density, few functional groups, poor control over folding, and difficulties in forming compact folds, natural DNA and RNA have been disappointing platforms from which to evolve receptors, ligands ...
