Minimum information about an uncultivated virus genome (MIUVIG)

Simon Roux, +63 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: The MIUViG (Minimum Information about an Uncultivated Virus Genome) as mentioned in this paper standard was developed within the Genomic Standards Consortium framework and includes virus origin, genome quality, genome annotation, taxonomic classification, biogeographic distribution and in silico host prediction.
Journal ArticleDOI

UvrD helicase, unlike Rep helicase, dismantles RecA nucleoprotein filaments in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: It is shown that UvrD, but not Rep, directly prevents homologous recombination in vivo, and evidence that RecA contributes to toxicity in the rep uvrD mutant is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The MatP/matS Site-Specific System Organizes the Terminus Region of the E. coli Chromosome into a Macrodomain

TL;DR: The results indicate that a specific organizational system is required in the Terminus region for bacterial chromosome management during the cell cycle, and the effects of MatP inactivation reveal its role as main organizer of the Ter macrodomain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phages rarely encode antibiotic resistance genes: a cautionary tale for virome analyses

TL;DR: Findings provide guidance for documentation of ARG in viromes, and reassert that ARGs are rarely encoded in phage genomes, which were previously overestimated.
