Journal ArticleDOI

Swine and Poultry Pathogens: the Complete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a Strain of Mycoplasma synoviae

Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos, +86 more
TL;DR: Genomic comparisons revealed that reduction in genome size implied loss of redundant metabolic pathways, with maintenance of alternative routes in different species, and indicated a likely transfer event of hemagglutinin-coding DNA sequences from M. gallisepticum to M. synoviae.
Journal Article

Factors that affect the horizontal transfer of transposable elements.

TL;DR: There appears to be a gradient in the incidence of horizontal transfer that reflects the presence of DNA intermediates during transposition, and horizontal transfer seems to predominate among families for which copy number is controlled predominantly by self-regulatory mechanisms that limit transposition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revisiting horizontal transfer of transposable elements in Drosophila

TL;DR: A broad overview of suspected cases of HT of transposable elements in Drosophila is presented and all the alternative hypotheses are outlined, asking how it can be almost certain that phylogenetic inconsistencies are due to HT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Horizontal Transposon Transfer in Eukarya: Detection, Bias, and Perspectives

TL;DR: A straightforward hypothesis test is proposed that can be used by TE specialists and nonspecialists alike to discriminate between HTT events and natural TE life cycle patterns, and some of the methodological concerns for HTT detection are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genome of Anopheles darlingi , the main neotropical malaria vector

Osvaldo Marinotti, +70 more
TL;DR: The first effort to sequence the genome of a neotropical malaria vector, and open a new window through which we can contemplate the evolutionary history of anopheline mosquitoes, is presented in this article, which provides valuable information that may lead to novel strategies to reduce malaria transmission on the South American continent.
