Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome sequence of the apicomplexan, Cryptosporidium parvum.
Mitchell S. Abrahamsen,Thomas J. Templeton,Shinichiro Enomoto,Juan E. Abrahante,Guan Zhu,Cheryl A. Lancto,Mingqi Deng,Chang Liu,Giovanni Widmer,Saul Tzipori,Gregory A. Buck,Ping Xu,Alan T. Bankier,Paul H. Dear,Bernard Anri Konfortov,Helen Spriggs,Lakshminarayan M. Iyer,Vivek Anantharaman,L. Aravind,Vivek Kapur +19 more
TL;DR: Genome analysis identifies extremely streamlined metabolic pathways and a reliance on the host for nutrients in the parasite, which lacks an apicoplast and its genome, and possesses a degenerate mitochondrion that has lost its genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genome of Cryptosporidium hominis
Ping Xu,Giovanni Widmer,Yingping Wang,Luiz S. Ozaki,João M. P. Alves,Myrna G. Serrano,Daniela Puiu,Patricio Manque,Donna E. Akiyoshi,Aaron J. Mackey,Aaron J. Mackey,William R. Pearson,Paul H. Dear,Alan T. Bankier,Darrell L. Peterson,Mitchell S. Abrahamsen,Vivek Kapur,Saul Tzipori,Gregory A. Buck +18 more
TL;DR: The eight-chromosome ∼9.2-million-base genome of C. hominis shows a striking concordance with the requirements imposed by the environmental niches the parasite inhabits, and phenotypic differences between these parasites must be due to subtle sequence divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome of the Opportunistic Pathogen Streptococcus sanguinis
Ping Xu,João M. P. Alves,Todd Kitten,Arunsri Brown,Zhenming Chen,Luiz S. Ozaki,Patricio Manque,Xiuchun Ge,Myrna G. Serrano,Daniela Puiu,Stephanie L. Hendricks,Yingping Wang,Michael D. Chaplin,Doruk Akan,Sehmi Paik,Darrell L. Peterson,Francis L. Macrina,Gregory A. Buck +17 more
TL;DR: The genome of Streptococcus sanguinis is a circular DNA molecule and is 177 to 590 kb larger than the other 21 streptococcal genomes that have been sequenced, and possesses a remarkable abundance of putative surface proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Racioethnic diversity in the dynamics of the vaginal microbiome during pregnancy.

TL;DR: In women who experienced normal term births, the vaginal microbiome shifted during pregnancy toward Lactobacillus-dominated profiles at the expense of taxa often associated with vaginal dysbiosis, and were significant only in women of African or Hispanic ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of the AP2/EREBP transcription factor OPBP1 enhances disease resistance and salt tolerance in tobacco.
TL;DR: Results suggest that OPBP1 might be a transcriptional regulator capable of regulating expression in sets of stress-related genes.
