Metagenomic ventures into outer sequence space
Sequencing DNA or RNA directly from the environment often results in many sequencing reads that have no homologs in the database. These are referred to as "unknowns," and reflect the vast unexplored microbial sequence space of our biosphere, also known as "biological dark matter." However, unknowns also exist because metagenomic datasets are not optimally mined. There is a pressure on researche...
متن کاملTraveling into Outer Space: Unanswered Questions about Fungal Extracellular Vesicles
Extracellular vesicle (EV) release in fungi was described for the first time in 2007 in the yeastlike pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans [1]. Since then, the phenomenon of EV production, which is present in all domains of life, has been observed in many different fungal species, including yeast cells and hyphae. Composition of EVs, the impact of their release on fungal pathogenesis, and their pot...
متن کاملBacterial Ventures into Multicellularity: Collectivism through Individuality
Multicellular eukaryotes can perform functions that exceed the possibilities of an individual cell. These functions emerge through interactions between differentiated cells that are precisely arranged in space. Bacteria also form multicellular collectives that consist of differentiated but genetically identical cells. How does the functionality of these collectives depend on the spatial arrange...
متن کاملJoining inner space to outer space
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that it is possible, in principle, to obtain knowledge of the entire universe at the present time, even if the radius of the universe is much larger than the radius of the observable universe.
متن کاملUltrafast clustering algorithms for metagenomic sequence analysis
The rapid advances of high-throughput sequencing technologies dramatically prompted metagenomic studies of microbial communities that exist at various environments. Fundamental questions in metagenomics include the identities, composition and dynamics of microbial populations and their functions and interactions. However, the massive quantity and the comprehensive complexity of these sequence d...
