Abstract: N-myristoylation (MYR) is a crucial fatty acylation catalyzed by N-myristoyltransferases (NMTs) that is likely to have appeared over 2 billion years ago. Proteome-wide approaches have now delivered an exhaustive list of substrates undergoing MYR across… read more here.

Abstract: Gene phylogenies are broadly used to analyse events of horizontal gene transfer, namely, their presence, the potential donor and acceptor lineages, and their relative timing. Recent phylogenomics analyses have reconstructed a relative chronology of gene… read more here.
