The 1013–1014 microorganisms present in the human gut (collectively known as the human
gut microbiota) dedicate substantial percentages of their genomes to the degradation and …

Glycosyltransferases catalyze glycosidic bond formation using sugar donors containing a
nucleoside phosphate or a lipid phosphate leaving group. Only two structural folds, GT-A …

Human genetic variation affects the gut microbiota through a complex combination of
environmental and host factors. Here we characterize genetic variations associated with …

Although the impact of host genetics on gut microbial diversity and the abundance of specific
taxa is well established,,,,–, little is known about how host genetics regulates the genetic …

Members of the phylum Acidobacteria are abundant and ubiquitous across soils. We
performed a large‐scale comparative genome analysis spanning subdivisions 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 …

Abstract International Society of Blood Transfusion has recently recognized 33 blood group
systems. Apart from ABO and Rhesus system, many other types of antigens have been …

Several members of the glycoside hydrolase 61 (GH61) family of proteins have recently
been shown to dramatically increase the breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass by microbial …

Rosetting is a virulent Plasmodium falciparum phenomenon associated with severe malaria.
Here we demonstrate that P. falciparum–encoded repetitive interspersed families of …

Donor organ allocation is dependent on ABO matching, restricting the opportunity for some
patients to receive a life-saving transplant. The enzymes FpGalNAc deacetylase and …

Bathyarchaeia, as one of the most abundant microorganisms on Earth, play vital roles in the
global carbon cycle. However, our understanding of their origin, evolution, and ecological …
