A Comprehensive Microbial Gene Catalog of the Human Airway Microbiome Across Anatomical Sites and Geographic Regions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated Human Airway Microbiome Gene Catalog (iHAMGC) is constructed from 12,273 metagenomic airway samples, providing a high‐resolution reference of respiratory microbial genes. The catalog enables systematic exploration of taxonomic and functional variation across airway niches and geographic regions, revealing site‐specific and region ...

Frin: An Efficient Method for Representing Genome Evolutionary History

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Phylogenetic analysis is important in understanding the process of biological evolution, and phylogenetic trees are used to represent the evolutionary history.

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

Interpreting the universal phylogenetic tree [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
The universal phylogenetic tree not only spans all extant life, but its root and earliest branchings represent stages in the evolutionary process before modern cell types had come into being. The evolution of the cell is an interplay between vertically derived and horizontally acquired variation. Primitive cellular entities were necessarily simpler and

Wald Space for Phylogenetic Trees

, 2021
The recently introduced wald space models phylogenetic trees from an evolutionary perspective. We show that it is a stratified space and propose algorithms to compute geodesics. In application we compute a Frechet mean of three trees of different topologies that is fully resolved, unlike in BHV-space. Both, preliminary results on geodesics and on means

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Confidence Sets for Phylogenetic Trees [PDF]

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2018
Inferring evolutionary histories (phylogenetic trees) has important applications in biology, criminology and public health. However, phylogenetic trees are complex mathematical objects that reside in a non-Euclidean space, which complicates their analysis.

An empirical assessment of the bootstrap support as an indicator of robustness in phylogenetic trees / So Wei Huo [PDF]

, 2012
Bootstrapping is a de-facto standard for displaying the validity of a phylogenetic tree. However this may not be the case as bootstrapping assume that the random sequence exist within the genome.

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

Herbicide Metabolic Resistance in Poaceae Plants via the GA‐GID1/DELLA‐DOF2‐P450s Module

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant hormone signaling modulates herbicide resistance in Echinochloa crus‐galli. The GA–DELLA–DOF2 cascade directly activates P450 detoxification genes in two Poaceae species, uncovering a core mechanism of metabolic herbicide resistance. ABSTRACT Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus‐galli) is one of the world's most important weeds, and the evolution of ...
