Comparison of Phylogenetic Tree Topologies for Nitrogen Associated Genes Partially Reconstruct the Evolutionary History of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Microorganisms, 2019
Massive sequencing projects executed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have revealed in detail its population structure. The recent “1002 yeast genomes project” has become the most complete catalogue of yeast genetic diversity and a powerful ...

Visualizing phylogenetic tree landscapes [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Genomic-scale sequence alignments are increasingly used to infer phylogenies in order to better understand the processes and patterns of evolution. Different partitions within these new alignments (e.g., genes, codon positions, and structural features) often favor hundreds if not thousands of competing phylogenies. Summarizing and comparing phylogenies

Cold Orthogonal Translation: A Psychrophilic Pyrrolysyl‐tRNA Synthetase Boosts Genetic Code Expansion in E. coli

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Orthogonal translation systems (OTSs) enable site‐specific incorporation of non‐canonical amino acids (ncAAs) and are central to genetic code expansion. Current engineering strategies typically rely on hyperstable aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) scaffolds to tolerate destabilizing mutations required for substrate diversification.

A vector representation for phylogenetic trees

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Good representations for phylogenetic trees and networks are important for enhancing storage efficiency and scalability for the inference and analysis of evolutionary trees for genes, genomes and species. We propose a new representation for rooted phylogenetic trees that encodes a tree on n

Functional Analysis of Ligand‐Gated Chloride Channels in a Cnidarian Sheds Light on the Evolution of Inhibitory Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand‐gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolutionary history of inhibitory LGICs with diverse neurotransmitter ligands.

A novel approach to phylogenetic tree construction using stochastic optimization and clustering

BMC Bioinformatics, 2006
Background The problem of inferring the evolutionary history and constructing the phylogenetic tree with high performance has become one of the major problems in computational biology.

Time‐Controlled Refrigerated Stem Cell Therapy Mitigates Scleroderma Fibrosis via Modulation of Mitochondrial Autophagy and Gut Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study established an RT‐MSCs‐based therapeutic approach for scleroderma in mice. RT‐MSCs attenuated fibrosis by regulating mitochondrial autophagy and restored gut microbiota homeostasis. Metabolomic analyses confirmed recovery of key metabolites, and RT‐MSCs demonstrated favorable lesion targeting and safety profiles.

Graph-based method for constructing consensus trees [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
A consensus tree is a phylogenetic tree that synthesizes a given collection of phylogenetic trees, all of which share the same leaf labels but may have different topologies, typically obtained through bootstrapping.

A Rare Allele of ST5 From Wild Rice Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel salt‐tolerance gene ST5W, characterized by a unique 36‐bp promoter insertion, is found exclusively in a small subset of Oryza rufipogon and is absent in cultivated rice. Field trials confirm ST5W significantly enhances rice yield across diverse genetic backgrounds under saline conditions.
