New and emerging chlamydial infections of creatures great and small
Until recently, our knowledge of the host range and diversity of members of the Chlamydiaceae, obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens of humans and animals, was thought to be nearly complete. Aided by advances in molecular diagnostics, a new picture is emerging, however, that the host barriers may be looser than previously thought for many chlamydial species. While cross-host transmission o...
متن کاملInsight into the evolution of microbial metabolism from the deep-branching bacterium, Thermovibrio ammonificans
Anaerobic thermophiles inhabit relic environments that resemble the early Earth. However, the lineage of these modern organisms co-evolved with our planet. Hence, these organisms carry both ancestral and acquired genes and serve as models to reconstruct early metabolism. Based on comparative genomic and proteomic analyses, we identified two distinct groups of genes in Thermovibrio ammonificans:...
متن کاملAnalysing Co-evolution Among Artificial 3D Creatures
We present results from our work on the coevolution of artificial creatures similar to those introduced by Sims [7]. In the present article we are mostly concerned with coevolutionary analysis. Coevolution is prone to complex dynamics which are often difficult to analyse. We introduce an improved analysis method based on Master Tournament matrices [5], which we argue is both less costly to comp...
متن کاملMoby and Moby 2: Creatures of the Deep (Web)
Facile and meaningful integration of data from disparate resources is the 'holy grail' of bioinformatics. Some resources have begun to address this problem by providing their data using Semantic Web standards, specifically the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Unfortunately, adoption of Semantic Web standards has been slow overall, and even in cases where...
متن کاملAn Improved System for Artificial Creatures Evolution
We present our complete reimplementation of Karl Sims’ system for evolving and coevolving autonomous creatures in a physically realistic three-dimensional (3D) environment. Creatures are articulated structures composed of rigid blocks and controlled by embedded neural networks. The main differences with Sims are, first, the use of standard McCullochPitts neurons (instead of a set of ad hoc, com...
