Asgardarchaeota have been proposed as the closest living relatives to eukaryotes, and a total of 72 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) representing six primary lineages in this archaeal phylum have thus far been described. These organisms are predicted to be fermentative heterotrophs contributing to ...
c Distribution of flagella proteins across Chlorophytes. The left cladogram shows the likely evolutionary relationships of sequenced Chlorophytes. The ƒ mark indicates organisms known to build motile flagella. Crei: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii; Volvox: Volvox carteri; C169: Coccomyxa subellipsoidea C-...
We used jMOTU [51] to infer the numbers of MOTU for each gene across a wide range of cutoffs (Figure1). There were five unique sequences in the nSSU* dataset, and five MOTUs between 0 – 0.12% sequence divergence (equivalent to a 0 – 1 bp cutoff value) and these MOTUs were cons...
Leptothecata are hydrozoans whose hydranths are covered by perisarc and gonophores and whose medusae bear gonads on their radial canals. They develop complex polypoid colonies and exhibit considerable morphological variation among species with respect to
Mitochondrial DNA-derived sequences have become popular markers for evolutionary studies, as their comparison may yield significant insights into the evolution of both the organisms and their genomes. From the more than 24,000 teleost species, only 254 c
Organisms are ordered top-down by decreasing genome size; x axes are logarithmic scale. Features are color coded (legend on the right) and comprise predicted genes, helitrons, intact full-length LTR elements (flLTRE), and potentially fragmented copies (LTREs). Evolutionary Novelties Enabling ...
pittii genomes across time in space. We compared clinical strains isolated on Earth to cultured organisms from the space station and those de novo assembled into metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). We described the specific gene and phenotype changes possibly occurring as a function of exposure to...
a large number of sequences in each sediment sample were allocated to carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism (Fig.7(a)). In addition, rivers are the primary recipient of pollutants and xenobiotics input from the watershed, most aquatic organisms, as well as bacteria, are exposed to ...
We choose clades that corresponded to roughly the family level and had relative abundances that summed 41% across all samples. The cladogram in Figure 5 displaying these results was built using the program GraPhlAn (https://bitbucket.org/nsegata/graphlan/). Weighted co-occurrence network analyses...
To ensure that only full-length or near full-length pro- teins were used for orthologue identification, we searched these non-redundant proteins against a RefSeq database of full-length proteins from six organisms (zebrafish, fugu, medaka, stickleback, spotted gar and coelacanth). A cut-off ...
