Standard operating procedure for computing pangenome trees
We present the pan-genome tree as a tool for visualizing similarities and differences between closely related microbial genomes within a species or genus. Distance between genomes is computed as a weighted relative Manhattan distance based on gene family presence/absence. The weights can be chosen with emphasis on groups of gene families conserved to various degrees inside the pan-genome. The s...
متن کاملQuorum sensing and the confusion about diffusion.
Two hypotheses, termed quorum sensing (QS) and diffusion sensing (DS), have been suggested as competing explanations for why bacterial cells use the local concentration of small molecules to regulate numerous extracellular behaviours. Here, we show that: (i) although there are important differences between QS and DS, they are not diametrically opposed; (ii) empirical attempts to distinguish bet...
متن کاملSOP-Creator - A Tool for the Management of Standard Operating Procedures
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are a significant element of quality assurance in health care. They consist of practical, mandatory instructions for frequently occurring tasks in the performance of clinical trials. The methods of how to accomplish these tasks embody the current state of medical knowledge and are approved by a consensus vote of domain experts. This paper shows the usefulnes...
متن کاملIs quorum sensing a side effect of diffusion sensing?
Many bacteria appear to communicate by releasing and sensing autoinducer molecules, which are believed to function primarily as sensors of population density. However, this quorum-sensing hypothesis rests on very weak foundations, as neither the need for group action nor the selective conditions required for its evolution have been demonstrated. Here, I argue for a more direct function of autoi...
متن کاملQuorum Sensing Inhibition, Relevance to Periodontics
Quorum sensing helps bacteria to communicate with each other and in coordinating their behavior. Many diseases of human beings, plants, and animals are mediated by quorum sensing. Various approaches are being tried to inhibit this communication to control the diseases caused by bacteria. Periodontal pathogens also communicate through quorum sensing and new approaches to treat periodontal diseas...
