Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of rrn operons in pathogenic non- cultivable treponemes: sequence but not genomic position of intergenic spacers correlates with classification of Treponema pallidum and Treponema paraluiscuniculi strains
Darina Čejková,Darina Čejková,Marie Zobaníková,Petra Pospíšilová,Michal Strouhal,Michal Strouhal,Lenka Mikalová,George M. Weinstock,David Šmajs +8 more
TL;DR: The pattern of nucleotide changes in the rrn operons corresponded to the classification of treponemal strains, whilst two different rrn spacer patterns appeared to be distributed randomly across species/subspecies classification, time and geographical source of the treponceal strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host genetic control of gut microbiome composition.
TL;DR: The relationship between host genetics, microbiome composition, and abundance, and disease is now beginning to be unraveled through experiments designed to test causality as discussed by the authors, and future research must take into account the relationship among host genetics and microbiome, and the resources needed to study these relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial signature genes
Kirt Martin,Janet L. Siefert,Sailaja Yerrapragada,Yue Lu,Thomas Z. McNeill,Thomas Z. McNeill,Pedro A. Moreno,George M. Weinstock,William R. Widger,George E. Fox +9 more
TL;DR: A comparison of 8 cyanobacterial genomes reveals that there are 181 shared genes that do not have obvious orthologs in other bacteria, which suggests there may be regulatory processes that have been preserved throughout the long history of the cyanob bacterial phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tandem duplications of the lac region of the Escherichia coli chromosome.
J D Heath,George M. Weinstock +1 more
TL;DR: According to segregation analysis of sixteen duplications there may be at least seven classes of duplications isolated by each method, and the minimum size of the duplications ranged from 30 to 320 kb but could be much larger.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rats in the genomic era
TL;DR: The rat genome project and the resources it has generated are transforming the translation of rat biology to human medicine and the progress and future plans for the rat genome are discussed.
