Genomic Expansion of Domain Archaea Highlights Roles for Organisms from New Phyla in Anaerobic Carbon Cycling

TL;DR: This study sequenced DNA from complex sediment and planktonic consortia from an aquifer adjacent to the Colorado River and reconstructed the first complete genomes for Archaea using cultivation-independent methods, which dramatically expand genomic sampling of the domain Archaea and clarify taxonomic designations within a major superphylum.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of the Hadoop/MapReduce/HBase framework and its current applications in bioinformatics.

TL;DR: Hadoop and the MapReduce programming paradigm already have a substantial base in the bioinformatics community, especially in the field of next-generation sequencing analysis, and such use is increasing, due to the cost-effectiveness of Hadoop-based analysis on commodity Linux clusters, and in the cloud via data upload to cloud vendors who have implemented Hadooper/HBase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting Species-Resolved Macronutrient Acquisition during Succession in a Model Phototrophic Biofilm Using an Integrated ‘Omics Approach

TL;DR: Niche partitioning around nitrogen sources may structure the community when organisms directly compete for limited phosphate, and niche complementarity around nitrogen Sources may increase community diversity and productivity in phosphate-limited phototrophic communities.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-223 coordinates cholesterol homeostasis.

TL;DR: A critical role is identified in systemic cholesterol regulation by coordinated posttranscriptional control of multiple genes in lipoprotein and cholesterol metabolism by microRNA-223 (miR-223), an miRNA previously associated with inflammation.
