Some lessons from Rickettsia genomics.
Sequencing of the Rickettsia conorii genome and its comparison with its closest sequenced pathogenic relative, i.e., Rickettsia prowazekii, provided powerful insights into the evolution of these microbial pathogens. However, advances in our knowledge of rickettsial diseases are still hindered by the difficulty of working with strict intracellular bacteria and their hosts. Information gained fro...
متن کاملGenomics of vasculitis: lessons from mouse models.
A genome analysis of mouse models may shed some light on the complex clinicopathological manifestations of systemic vasculitis. In the study of susceptibility loci to vasculitis in MRL mouse models, we found that systemic vasculitis developed through the cumulative effect of multiple gene loci, each of which by itself did not have a significant effect in inducing the related phenotype, thus ind...
متن کاملMicrobial NAD metabolism: lessons from comparative genomics.
NAD is a coenzyme for redox reactions and a substrate of NAD-consuming enzymes, including ADP-ribose transferases, Sir2-related protein lysine deacetylases, and bacterial DNA ligases. Microorganisms that synthesize NAD from as few as one to as many as five of the six identified biosynthetic precursors have been identified. De novo NAD synthesis from aspartate or tryptophan is neither universal ...
متن کاملGenomics: Lessons from the Aeropyrum pernix genome
Genomics is predicted to have an explosive impact on biology. This has been felt first in microbiology. The small genome size of bacteria and archaea has allowed twentyfour genomes to be completely sequenced. But even in microbiology, the impact of genomics is more potential than actual — it has not yet found a cure or vaccine for a major disease, or resulted in some new biotechnological proces...
متن کاملUnraveling the biological mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease--lessons from genomics.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and the most common neurodegenerative disease, with a complex genetic background. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have yielded important new insights into genetic mechanisms of AD pathology. Current results unequivocally confirm apolipoprotein E (APOE) as a major genetic risk factor for development of late onset AD. Additional ...
