DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2019.03.014
Abstract: Holoparasitism has led to extreme plastome reduction. Plastomes in the legume holoparasite Pilostyles (Apodanthaceae) are the most reduced in both size and gene content known so far in Embryophytes. Here, we found that the Pilostyles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-88160-4
Abstract: The chloroplast is one of two organelles containing a separate genome that codes for essential and distinct cellular functions such as photosynthesis. Given the importance of chloroplasts in plant metabolism, the genomic architecture and gene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btac433
Abstract: Abstract Summary We present Mirage 2.0, which accurately estimates gene-content evolutionary history by considering heterogeneous evolutionary patterns among gene families. Notably, we introduce a deterministic pattern mixture model, which makes Mirage substantially faster and more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1099/mgen.0.000437
Abstract: Pathogens of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) are considered to be monomorphic, with little gene content variation between strains. Nevertheless, several genotypic and phenotypic factors separate strains of the different MTBC lineages (L), especially L5… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2021.11.19.469253
Abstract: An accurate phylogeny of animals is needed to clarify their evolution, ecology, and impact on shaping the biosphere. Although datasets of several hundred thousand amino acids are nowadays routinely used to test phylogenetic hypotheses, key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00118-23
Abstract: The amount of shared genetic elements has not been quantified between the human microbiome and other host- and non-host-associated microbiomes. Here, we made a gene catalog of 17 different microbial ecosystems and compared them. ABSTRACT… read more here.

DOI: 10.1182/blood-2018-99-116428
Abstract: In patients with acute leukemia, relapse remains one of the most frequent causes of treatment failure after allogeneic transplantation (allo-HCT). Early after transplant, natural killer (NK) cells predominate and thus, they have been implicated in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0248418
Abstract: Bacteriophages (phages) exhibit high genetic diversity, and the mosaic nature of the shared genetic pool makes quantifying phage relatedness a shifting target. Early parameters for clustering of related Mycobacteria and Arthrobacter phage genomes relied on… read more here.
