Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding marine mussel adhesion.
TL;DR: A background on adhesive proteins identified in the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, is provided and the research interests are introduced and the future for continued research related to mussel adhesion is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of a thermophilic archaeal virus shows a double-stranded DNA viral capsid type that spans all domains of life.

TL;DR: The structure of a hyperthermophilic virus isolated from an archaeal host found in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park has been reported in this paper, suggesting that some viruses may have a common ancestor that precedes the division into three domains of life >3 billion years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomes from high-temperature chemotrophic systems reveal geochemical controls on microbial community structure and function

Fouke,Anna-Louise Reysenbach,Francisco F. Roberto,Mark J. Young,Ariel S. Schwartz,Eric S. Boyd,Jonathan H. Badger,Eric J. Mathur,Alice C. Ortmann,Mary M. Bateson,Gill G. Geesey,Marvin Frazier +20 more
TL;DR: Multiple-pathway and protein-specific functional analysis of metagenome sequence data corroborated results from phylogenetic analyses and clearly demonstrate major differences in metabolic potential across sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Genome-Based Phylogeny and Divergence of the Genus Brucella
Jeffrey T. Foster,Stephen M. Beckstrom-Sternberg,Stephen M. Beckstrom-Sternberg,Talima Pearson,James S. Beckstrom-Sternberg,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patrick S. G. Chain,Francisco F. Roberto,Jonathan Hnath,Thomas Brettin,Paul Keim +11 more
TL;DR: A phylogeny using single nucleotide polymorphisms from 13 genomes and rooted the tree using the closely related soil bacterium and opportunistic human pathogen, Ochrobactrum anthropi suggests that most Brucella species diverged from their common B. ovis ancestor in the past 86,000 to 296,000 years, which precedes the domestication of their livestock hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomic Analysis of Hyperthermophilic Archaeal Fuselloviridae Viruses
Blake Wiedenheft,Kenneth M. Stedman,Francisco F. Roberto,Deborah A. Willits,Anne-Kathrin Gleske,Luisa Zoeller,Jamie C. Snyder,Trevor Douglas,Mark J. Young +8 more
TL;DR: The complete genome sequences of two Sulfolobus spindle-shaped viruses from acidic hot springs in Kamchatka and Yellowstone National Park have been determined and allowed us to carry out a phylogenetic comparison of these geographically distributed hyperthermal viruses.
