Journal ArticleDOI

An expanded genomic representation of the phylum cyanobacteria.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the Melainabacteria is a class within the phylogenetically defined Cyanobacteria based on robust monophyly and shared ancestral traits with photosynthetic representatives, consistent with theories that photosynthesis occurred late in the Cyanob bacteria and involved extensive lateral gene transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric trace gases support primary production in Antarctic desert surface soil

TL;DR: It is proposed that atmospheric H2, CO2 and CO provide dependable sources of energy and carbon to support these communities, which suggests that atmospheric energy sources can provide an alternative basis for ecosystem function to solar or geological energy sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phasevarion mediated epigenetic gene regulation in Helicobacter pylori.

TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence of this epigenetic mechanism of gene expression in H. pylori modH phasevarions to define stable immunological targets will be essential for vaccine development and may also contribute to understanding H.pylori pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferrets exclusively synthesize Neu5Ac and express naturally humanized influenza A virus receptors.

TL;DR: Genomic analysis reveals an ancient, nine-exon deletion in the ferret CMAH gene that is shared by the Pinnipedia and Musteloidia members of the Carnivora and confirms that the type of terminal sialic acid contributes significantly to IAV receptor specificity.
