Establishing the precise evolutionary history of a gene improves prediction of disease-causing missense mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
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.

Chromista [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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.

Contrasting Responses of Protistan Plant Parasites and Phagotrophs to Ecosystems, Land Management and Soil Properties

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
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 ...

Liming with dolomite reduces the efficacy of the biocontrol fungus Trichoderma koningiopsis against cabbage clubroot

open access: yesAgronomía Colombiana, 2015
Cabbage clubroot is a major constraint for the production of cruciferous species. This research aim at exploring the effect of Trichoderma koningiopsis (as the wettable powder formulated product Tricotec®) and dolomite on the disease and crop growth of ...

On the origin of TSAR: morphology, diversity and phylogeny of Telonemia

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
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 ...

Exploring Microeukaryote Community Characteristics and Niche Differentiation in Arid Farmland Soil at the Northeastern Edge of the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
The northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau exhibits diverse climate and landform variations, and has experienced substantial recent environmental changes, which may significantly impact local agricultural practices.
