Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics of the lactic acid bacteria

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses, comparison of gene content across the group, and reconstruction of ancestral gene sets indicate a combination of extensive gene loss and key gene acquisitions via horizontal gene transfer during the coevolution of lactic acid bacteria with their habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI

The complete genome of hyperthermophile Methanopyrus kandleri AV19 and monophyly of archaeal methanogens

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the GC-rich genome of Methanopyrus kandleri is determined by using a whole direct genome sequencing approach and indicates that archaeal methanogens are monophyletic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent developments in the optimization of thermostable DNA polymerases for efficient applications.

TL;DR: The development of genetically modified DNA polymerases, which could provide significant advantages over their natural counterparts that are used today, would have an immediate impact on the efficiency and accuracy of DNA amplification applications essential to the success of the Human Genome Initiative.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA topoisomerase V is a relative of eukaryotic topoisomerase I from a hyperthermophilic prokaryote

TL;DR: The findings support the idea that some essential parts of the eukaryotic transcription–translation and replication machineries were in place before the emergence of eukARYotes, and that the closest living relatives of eUKaryotes may be hyperthermophiles.
