The Phylogenetic Diversity of Metagenomes [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Phylogenetic diversity--patterns of phylogenetic relatedness among organisms in ecological communities--provides important insights into the mechanisms underlying community assembly. Studies that measure phylogenetic diversity in microbial communities have primarily been limited to a single marker gene approach, using the small subunit of the rRNA gene

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.

Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2023 Cancer progression and treatment can be informed by reconstructing its evolutionary history from tumor cells. Although many methods exist to estimate evolutionary trees (called phylogenies) from molecular sequences, traditional approaches assume the ...

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.By selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...

Survey of molecular phylogenetics
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2007 Rapidly increasing amount of biological data necessarily requires techniques that would enable to extract the information hidden in the data. Methods of molecular phylogenetics are commonly used tools as well as objects of continuous research within many

Modeling the Ecology and Evolution of Biodiversity: Introduction to the Special Issue
Diversity, 2022 Applying relevant statistical models to empirical data analysis has been considered a very important procedure for scientists to answer research questions in the fields of biodiversity, phylogeography, evolutionary biology, paleoecology, phylogenetics ...

Make the most of your samples : Bayes factor estimators for high-dimensional models of sequence evolution [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Accurate model comparison requires extensive computation times, especially for parameter-rich models of sequence evolution. In the Bayesian framework, model selection is typically performed through the evaluation of a Bayes factor, the ratio ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...
