Cyanobacterial Blooms Are Not a Result of Positive Selection by Freshwater Eutrophication

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Long-standing cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are known to result from synergistic interaction between elevated nutrients and superior ecophysiology of cyanobacteria.

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

Pangenomes and Selection: The Public Goods Hypothesis [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract The evolution and structure of prokaryotic genomes are largely shaped by horizontal gene transfer. This process is so prevalent that DNA can be seen as a public good—a resource that is shared across individuals, populations, and species. The consequence is a network of DNA sharing across prokaryotic life, whose extent is becoming apparent with

Maximum-scoring path sets on pangenome graphs of constant treewidth

Frontiers in Bioinformatics
We generalize a problem of finding maximum-scoring segment sets, previously studied by Csűrös (IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, 2004, 1, 139–150), from sequences to graphs.

Ten new high-quality genome assemblies for diverse bioenergy sorghum genotypes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionSorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an agriculturally and economically important staple crop that has immense potential as a bioenergy feedstock due to its relatively high productivity on marginal lands.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Why prokaryotes have pangenomes [PDF]

Nature Microbiology, 2017
The existence of large amounts of within-species genome content variability is puzzling. Population genetics tells us that fitness effects of new variants—either deleterious, neutral or advantageous—combined with the long-term effective population size of the species determines the likelihood of a new variant being removed, spreading to fixation or ...

Genomic diversity and adaptation in Arctic marine bacteria

mBio
Arctic marine bacteria experience seasonal changes in temperature, salinity, light, and sea ice cover. Time-series and metagenomic studies have identified spatiotemporal patterns in Arctic microbial communities, but a lack of complete genomes has limited

Human Pangenomics: Promises and Challenges of a Distributed Genomic Reference

Life, 2023
A pangenome is a collection of the common and unique genomes that are present in a given species. It combines the genetic information of all the genomes sampled, resulting in a large and diverse range of genetic material.

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...
