Environments shape the nucleotide composition of genomes.
To test the impact of environments on genome evolution, we analysed the relative abundance of the nucleotides guanine and cytosine ('GC content') of large numbers of sequences from four distinct environmental samples (ocean surface water, farm soil, an acidophilic mine drainage biofilm and deep-sea whale carcasses). We show that the GC content of complex microbial communities seems to be global...
متن کاملSexual function of patients with heart failure: distinct phenotypes, distinct sexual function?
We read with great interest an editorial article on sexual function of patients with heart failure (HF) by Tiny Jaarsma published recently in your journal, which provided extremely important data regarding the prevalence of sexual problems, the factors related to these problems, and the counselling and treatment for sexual problems in HF patients. According to the last European Society of Cardi...
متن کاملDistinct frequency-distributions of homopolymeric DNA tracts in different genomes.
The unusual base composition of the genome of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum prompted us to systematically investigate the occurrence of homopolymeric DNA tracts in the P. falciparum genome and, for comparison, in the genomes of Homo sapiens , Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Caenorhabditis elegans , Arabidopsis thaliana , Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Comparison ...
متن کاملTwo Distinct Categories of Focal Deletions in Cancer Genomes
One of the key questions about genomic alterations in cancer is whether they are functional in the sense of contributing to the selective advantage of tumor cells. The frequency with which an alteration occurs might reflect its ability to increase cancer cell growth, or alternatively, enhanced instability of a locus may increase the frequency with which it is found to be aberrant in tumors, reg...
متن کاملViral and Cellular Genomes Activate Distinct DNA Damage Responses
In response to cellular genome breaks, MRE11/RAD50/NBS1 (MRN) activates a global ATM DNA damage response (DDR) that prevents cellular replication. Here, we show that MRN-ATM also has critical functions in defending the cell against DNA viruses. We reveal temporally distinct responses to adenovirus genomes: a critical MRN-ATM DDR that must be inactivated by E1B-55K/E4-ORF3 viral oncoproteins and...
