Analysis of human metabolism by reducing the complexity of the genome-scale models using redHUMAN

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Maria Masid Barcon

Altered metabolism is associated with many human diseases. Human genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) were reconstructed within systems biology to study the biochemistry occurring in human cells. However, the complexity of these networks hinders a consiste ...

Population Genomics of Mycobacterium leprae Reveals a New Genotype in Madagascar and the Comoros

Stewart Cole, Stefanie Boy-Röttger, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh, Thyago Leal Calvo

Human settlement of Madagascar traces back to the beginning of the first millennium with the arrival of Austronesians from Southeast Asia, followed by migrations from Africa and the Middle East. Remains of these different cultural, genetic, and linguistic ...

Parallel and Scalable Bioinformatics

Stuart Anthony Byma

The field of genomics is likely to become the largest producer of data as a consequence of the large-scale application of next-generation sequencing technology for biological research and personalized medical treatments. The raw sequence data produced by t ...

Differences in viral disinfection mechanisms as revealed by quantitative transfection of Echovirus 11 genomes

Urs von Gunten, Tamar Kohn, Jason Robert Torrey

Virus inactivation mechanisms can be elucidated by methods which measure the loss of specific virus functionality (e.g., host attachment, genome internalization, genome replication). Genome functionality is frequently assessed by PCR-based methods, which a ...

An Interactive Gameplay to Crowdsource Multiple Sequence Alignment of Genome Sequences: Genenigma

Kalpani Anuradha Welivita

Comparative genomics is a field of research that compares genomes of different organisms to identify common patterns. It is a powerful method used to identify the genetic diseases that cause mutations. Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is an intermediate s ...

Single-cell studies of Mycobacterium smegmatis cell cycle using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy

Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven

Cell division is one of the most primordial cellular processes and is essential for life propagation. It is composed of crucial events, namely genome duplication, chromosomes segregation and membrane separation. Failure of these processes will have dramati ...

Identifying microbial species by single-molecule DNA optical mapping and resampling statistics

Theo Lasser, Aleksandra Radenovic, Arno Pino Bouwens, Tomas Lukes, Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux, Kristin Stefanie Grussmayer, Jochem Deen

Single-molecule DNA mapping has the potential to serve as a powerful complement to high-throughput sequencing in metagenomic analysis. Offering longer read lengths and forgoing the need for complex library preparation and amplification, mapping stands to p ...

Relationship Between Inactivation and Genome Damage of Human Enteroviruses Upon Treatment by UV254, Free Chlorine, and Ozone

Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann, Suzanne Marie Young, Jason Robert Torrey

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a convenient tool for monitoring virus concentrations in water and wastewater treatment trains, though it only informs about virus presence, but not infectivity. This limitation can be overcome if the relationship between infecti ...

Coexistence of two distinct Sulfurospirillum populations respiring tetrachloroethene—genomic and kinetic considerations

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Géraldine Florence Buttet, Alexandra Marie Murray, Mélissa Burion

Two anaerobic bacterial consortia, each harboring a distinct Sulfurospirillum population, were derived from a 10 year old consortium, SL2, previously characterized for the stepwise dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) v ...

Highly Reduced Genome of the New Species Mycobacterium uberis, the Causative Agent of Nodular Thelitis and Tuberculoid Scrotitis in Livestock and a Close Relative of the Leprosy Bacilli

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi

Nodular thelitis is a chronic enzootic infection affecting dairy cows and goats. The causative agent was recently shown to be related to the leprosy-causing bacilli Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. In this study, the genome of this path ...
