Genome sequencing and our understanding of chlamydiae.
A driving force in the evolution of a microorganism is the ability to colonize a niche. A vertebrate organism represents a unique niche, but to an infecting microbe it is simply an environment to be exploited. Many pathogens explore yet another opportunity—the intracellular environment. The chlamydiae are obligate intracellular pathogens that have established a unique niche within the host cell...
متن کاملSequencing our way towards understanding global eukaryotic biodiversity.
Microscopic eukaryotes are abundant, diverse and fill critical ecological roles across every ecosystem on Earth, yet there is a well-recognized gap in understanding of their global biodiversity. Fundamental advances in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics now allow accurate en masse biodiversity assessments of microscopic eukaryotes from environmental samples. Despite a promising outlook, the fiel...
متن کاملProgress in Understanding and Sequencing the Genome of Brassica rapa
Brassica rapa, which is closely related to Arabidopsis thaliana, is an important crop and a model plant for studying genome evolution via polyploidization. We report the current understanding of the genome structure of B. rapa and efforts for the whole-genome sequencing of the species. The tribe Brassicaceae, which comprises ca. 240 species, descended from a common hexaploid ancestor with a bas...
متن کاملSequencing and Molecular Analysis of ATP 6 and ATP 8 of Mitochondrial Genome in Khorasanian Native Chickens
In order to perform breeding programs and improve production of native chickens, preserving genetic diversity in different areas of Iran is important due to the reduced available population. Genome sequencing is considered the most functional approach to determine the phylogeny relation between close populations. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the phylogeny and genetic nucle...
متن کاملImpacts of Genome-Wide Analyses on Our Understanding of Human Herpesvirus Diversity and Evolution
Until fairly recently, genome-wide evolutionary dynamics and within-host diversity were more commonly examined in the context of small viruses than in the context of large double-stranded DNA viruses such as herpesviruses. The high mutation rates and more compact genomes of RNA viruses have inspired the investigation of population dynamics for these species, and recent data now suggest that her...
