Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of antibiotic use and composting on antibiotic resistance gene abundance and resistome risks of soils receiving manure-derived amendments.
Chaoqui Chen,Christine A. Pankow,Min Oh,Lenwood S. Heath,Liqing Zhang,Pang Du,Kang Xia,Amy Pruden +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides an integrated, high-resolution examination of the effects of prior antibiotic use, composting, and a 120-day wait period on soil resistomes following manure-derived amendment, demonstrating that all three management practices have measurable effects and should be taken into consideration in the development of policy and practice for mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and analysis of the N(6)-methyladenosine in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptome.
TL;DR: A support vector machine based-method is proposed to identify m6A sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome and it is observed in the jackknife test that the accuracy achieved by the proposed model in identifying the m 6A site was 78.15%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does recombination shape the distribution and evolution of tandemly arrayed genes (TAGs) in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome
Liqing Zhang,Brandon S. Gaut +1 more
TL;DR: The distribution of TAGs in the genome is not consistent with theoretical models predicting the accumulation of repeats in regions of low recombination but may be consistent with stabilizing selection models of TAG evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance evaluation of indel calling tools using real short-read data
TL;DR: Comparing indels called by these tools with a known set of indels, it is found that Platypus outperforms other tools and indicates the necessity of improving the existing tools or developing new algorithms to achieve reliable and consistent indel calling results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human SNPs Reveal No Evidence of Frequent Positive Selection
Liqing Zhang,Wen-Hsiung Li +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that housekeeping genes tend to be less polymorphic than tissue-specific genes for both rare and common SNPs, suggesting that positive selection in the human genome might not be as frequent as previously thought.
