PROPER: global protein interaction network alignment through percolation matching

Matthias Grossglauser, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Ehsan Kazemi, Hasan Pezeshgi Modarres

Background The alignment of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks enables us to uncover the relationships between different species, which leads to a deeper understanding of biological systems. Network alignment can be used to transfer biological know ...

Divergent PCB organohalide-respiring consortia enriched from the efflux channel of a former Delor manufacturer in Eastern Europe

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Martina Praveckova

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) organohalide-respiring communities from the efflux channel of a former Delor manufacturer in Eastern Slovakia were assessed using metagenomic, statistical and cultivation-adapted approaches. Multivariate analysis of environme ...

Insight into the evolution and origin of leprosy bacilli from the genome sequence of Mycobacterium lepromatosis

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh

Mycobacterium lepromatosis is an uncultured human pathogen associated with diffuse lepromatous leprosy and a reactional state known as Lucio's phenomenon. By using deep sequencing with and without DNA enrichment, we obtained the near-complete genome sequen ...

Contrasted taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity patterns in semi-natural permanent grasslands along an altitudinal gradient

François Gillet

Background and aims - Recent methodological and theoretical advances in community ecology have allowed more robust exploration of complementary facets of biodiversity in plant communities. Focusing on semi-natural permanent grasslands of the French Jura Mo ...

Study of cell differentiation by phylogenetic analysis using histone modification data

Bernard Moret, Philipp Bucher, Yu Lin, Nishanth Ulhas Nair, Paulina Grnarova, Jelena Antic, Ana Manasovska

Background: In cell differentiation, a cell of a less specialized type becomes one of a more specialized type, even though all cells have the same genome. Transcription factors and epigenetic marks like histone modifications can play a significant role in ...

On the DCJ Median Problem

Bernard Moret, Mingfu Shao

As many whole genomes are sequenced, comparative genomics is moving from pairwise comparisons to multiway comparisons framed within a phylogenetic tree. A central problem in this process is the inference of data for internal nodes of the tree from data giv ...

Mycobacterium leprae genomes from a British medieval leprosy hospital: towards understanding an ancient epidemic

Stewart Cole, Pushpendra Singh

Background: Leprosy has afflicted humankind throughout history leaving evidence in both early texts and the archaeological record. In Britain, leprosy was widespread throughout the Middle Ages until its gradual and unexplained decline between the 14th and ...

Bootstrapping phylogenies inferred from rearrangement data

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

Background: Large-scale sequencing of genomes has enabled the inference of phylogenies based on the evolution of genomic architecture, under such events as rearrangements, duplications, and losses. Many evolutionary models and associated algorithms have be ...

TIBA: a tool for phylogeny inference from rearrangement data with bootstrap analysis

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

TIBA is a tool to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from rearrangement data that consist of ordered lists of synteny blocks (or genes), where each synteny block is shared with all of its homologues in the input genomes. The evolution of these synteny blocks, ...
