Establishing the precise evolutionary history of a gene improves prediction of disease-causing missense mutations [PDF]
PURPOSE: Predicting the phenotypic effects of mutations has become an important application in clinical genetic diagnostics. Computational tools evaluate the behavior of the variant over evolutionary time and assume that variations seen during the course

Broadly sampled multigene trees of eukaryotes
Background Our understanding of the eukaryotic tree of life and the tremendous diversity of microbial eukaryotes is in flux as additional genes and diverse taxa are sampled for molecular analyses.

The concept of chromists, at its most expansive, includes the heterokonts (stramenopiles), alveolates, rhizarians, heliozoans, telonemians, haptophytes and cryptophytes. There is mounting evidence that this grouping is not valid.

Functional traits are increasingly used in ecology to link the structure of microbial communities to ecosystem processes. We investigated two important protistan lineages, Cercozoa and Endomyxa (Rhizaria) in soil using Illumina sequencing and analyzed ...

On the origin of TSAR: morphology, diversity and phylogeny of Telonemia
Telonemia is a poorly known major phylum of flagellated eukaryotes with a unique combination of morphological traits. Phylogenomics recently revealed the phylogenetic position of telonemids as sister to SAR, one of the largest groups of eukaryotes ...

Non-Skeletal Biomineralization by Eukaryotes: Matters of Moment and Gravity [PDF]
Skeletal biomineralisation by microbial eukaryotes significantly affects the global biogeochemical cycles of carbon, silicon and calcium. Non-skeletal biomineralisation by eukaryotic cells, with precipitates retained within the cell interior, can ...

Total Synthesis of Novel Oxylipins: Plasmodiophorols A, C, and Epimers
The first total syntheses of plasmodiophorols A and C, recently identified α‐linolenic acid‐derived oxylipins, were achieved from chiral cyclopentafuranone in 12–13 steps. The routes use enzymatic desymmetrization, epimerization, and diastereoselective Grignard addition, providing stereocontrolled access to the natural products and reliable standards ...
