Assembly of metagenomic sequence data into microbial genomes is of fundamental value to
improving our understanding of microbial ecology and metabolism by elucidating the …

Messenger RNA is a key component of an intricate regulatory network of its own. It
accommodates numerous nucleotide signals that overlap protein coding sequences and are …

Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) are ubiquitous and abundant in nature and play a major
role in nitrogen cycling. AOA have been studied intensively based on the amoA gene …

The overwhelming taxonomic diversity and metabolic complexity of microorganisms can be
simplified by a life-history classification; copiotrophs grow faster and rely on resource …

Since the description of the genus Arcobacter in 1991, a total of 27 species have been
described, although some species have shown 16S rRNA similarities below 95%, which is …

In each genome, synonymous codons are used with different frequencies; this general
phenomenon is known as codon usage bias. It has been previously recognised that codon …

Viruses are traditionally thought to be under selective pressure to maintain compact
genomes and thus depend on host cell translational machinery for reproduction. However …

Abstract The fungal genus Fusarium (Ascomycota) includes well-known plant pathogens
that are implicated in diseases worldwide, and many of which have been genome …

In recent years, the excessive of antibiotics in livestock and poultry husbandry, stemming
from extensive industry experience, has resulted in the accumulation of residual antibiotics …

The pool of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules in cells allows the ribosome to decode genetic
information. This repertoire of molecular decoders is positioned in the crossroad of the …
