Signature Genes as a Phylogenomic Tool [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2008
Gene content has been shown to contain a strong phylogenetic signal, yet its usage for phylogenetic questions is hampered by horizontal gene transfer and parallel gene loss and until now required completely sequenced genomes. Here, we introduce an approach that allows the phylogenetic signal in gene content to be applied to any set of sequences, using ...

Capture of long‐missing heme oxygenases that degrade both heme b and heme c

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Heme serves as a crucial cofactor for hemoproteins and as an iron reservoir; yet, its accumulation is toxic, necessitating efficient degradation pathways. While the catabolism of free heme b is well characterized, the enzymes that disrupt its counterpart covalently tethered to a peptide (heme c) have remained elusive.

Hepatica transsilvanica Fuss (Ranunculaceae) is an Allotetraploid Relict of the Tertiary Flora in Europe – Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2020
The Hepatica section Angulosa consists of mainly tetraploid (2n = 28) species that are distributed disjunctly throughout Eurasia. Karyological evidence proves the hybrid origin of the polyploid species of this section. Hepatica transsilvanica is a member

An Updated Checklist and Perspective Study of Millipedes (Arthropoda: Myriapoda: Diplopoda) in the Korean Peninsula [PDF]

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016
The Korean peninsula has diverse habitats and so would be expected to have a rich millipede fauna because of its location between the Paleoarctic and Oriental regions. To facilitate studies on millipedes, this work provides an updated list and discussion

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

An early diverging SQR enzyme in Antarctic Gloeobacterales indicates sulfide tolerance in thylakoid-lacking cyanobacteria

Microbiology Spectrum
Oxygenic photosynthesis, which converts solar energy into carbohydrates via a linear electron transport chain and two photosystems (PSII and PSI), first appeared in cyanobacteria approximately 3.3 Ga and drove the Great Oxidation Event around 2.4 Ga ...

Phylointeractomics reconstructs functional evolution of protein binding

Nature Communications, 2017
Since protein interactions can be sensitive to small sequence changes, phylogenomics alone gives limited insight into protein functional evolution.

ReproPhylo: An Environment for Reproducible Phylogenomics [PDF]

PLOS Computational Biology, 2015
Abstract The reproducibility of experiments is key to the scientific process, and particularly necessary for accurate reporting of analyses in data-rich fields such as phylogenomics. We present ReproPhylo, a phylogenomic analysis environment developed to ensure experimental reproducibility, to facilitate the handling of large-scale data,

Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...
