Journal ArticleDOI
BlobTools: Interrogation of genome assemblies
TL;DR: Through simulated paired-end read dataset,s containing a mixture of metazoan and bacterial taxa, the main BlobTools workflow is illustrated and useful parameters for taxonomic partitioning of low-complexity metagenome assemblies are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
No evidence for extensive horizontal gene transfer in the genome of the tardigrade Hypsibius dujardini
Georgios Koutsovoulos,Sujai Kumar,Dominik R. Laetsch,Lewis Stevens,Jennifer Daub,Claire Conlon,Habib Maroon,Fran Thomas,A. Aziz Aboobaker,Mark Blaxter +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that fHGT into H. dujardini accounts for at most 1–2% of genes and that the proposal that one-sixth of tardigrade genes originate from functional HGT events is an artifact of undetected contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics of the tardigrades Hypsibius dujardini and Ramazzottius varieornatus.
Yuki Yoshida,Georgios Koutsovoulos,Dominik R. Laetsch,Dominik R. Laetsch,Lewis Stevens,Sujai Kumar,Daiki D. Horikawa,Kyoko Ishino,Shiori Komine,Takekazu Kunieda,Masaru Tomita,Mark Blaxter,Kazuharu Arakawa +12 more
TL;DR: Few horizontally transferred genes were identified, but some were shown to be involved in entry into anhydrobiosis, and rare genomic changes tended to support Tardigrada+Arthropoda.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high quality genome assembly for Globodera rostochiensis was generated, identifying putative effectors and horizontal gene transfer events, map gene expression through the life cycle focusing on key parasitic transitions and sequence the genomes of eight populations including four additional pathotypes to identify variation.

TL;DR: For each gene, the authors lists the normalized expression data for each life stage, and (if significantly differentially expressed) which expression super cluster it is grouped into, for each gene.
