TL;DR: Analysis of the intestinal metaproteome can complement gene-based analysis and contributes to a thorough understanding of the activities of the microbiome and the relevant pathways in health and disease.

TL;DR: By screening an exhaustive set of vertebrate gene families, it is found that, when a second transcript encoding the original gene product compensates for this mutation, frameshift mutations can be retained for millions of years and enable new gene functions to be acquired.

TL;DR: Reanalyzed duplicated blocks found in the Arabidopsis genome and determined their date of divergence based on silent substitution estimations between the paralogous genes and, where possible, by phylogenetic reconstruction to show that methods based on averaging protein distances of heterogeneous classes of duplicated genes lead to unreliable conclusions.

TL;DR: The authors' data point toward an intricate relationship between these caspases and the composition of the murine gut microflora, particularly the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla, when comparing Casp-1, -7 and -3 knockout mice with wild-type mice.

TL;DR: The Malaspina Gene Database as mentioned in this paper was used to analyze 58 metagenomes from tropical and subtropical deep oceans to generate a deep metagenome-assembled Genomes.
