Journal ArticleDOI
Selection of Conserved Blocks from Multiple Alignments for Their Use in Phylogenetic Analysis
TL;DR: A computerized method is presented that reduces to a certain extent the necessity of manually editing multiple alignments, makes the automation of phylogenetic analysis of large data sets feasible, and facilitates the reproduction of the final alignment by other researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of Phylogenies after Removing Divergent and Ambiguously Aligned Blocks from Protein Sequence Alignments
Gerard Talavera,Jose Castresana +1 more
TL;DR: Whether phylogenetic reconstruction improves after alignment cleaning or not is examined and cleaned alignments produce better topologies although, paradoxically, with lower bootstrap, which indicates that divergent and problematic alignment regions may lead, when present, to apparently better supported although, in fact, more biased topologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative studies of the structure of proteins in solution by fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic and ecological analysis of novel marine stramenopiles.
Ramon Massana,Jose Castresana,Vanessa Balagué,Laure Guillou,Khadidja Romari,Agnès Groisillier,Klaus Valentin,Carlos Pedrós-Alió +7 more
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of novel stramenopiles is carried out, including new sequences from coastal genetic libraries presented here and sequences from recent reports from the open ocean and marine anoxic sites, confirming that they are fundamental members of the marine eukaryotic picoplankton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of cytochrome oxidase, an enzyme older than atmospheric oxygen.
TL;DR: It is proposed that aerobic metabolism in organisms with cytochrome oxidase has a monophyletic and ancient origin, prior to the appearance of eubacterial oxygenic photosynthetic organisms.
