The vast majority of genomic sequences are automatically annotated using various software
programs. The accuracy of these annotations depends heavily on the very few manual …

The major advantage of mRNA vaccines over more conventional approaches is their
potential for rapid development and large-scale deployment in pandemic situations. In the …

As drivers of evolutionary innovations, new genes allow organisms to explore new niches.
However, clear examples of this process remain scarce. Bamboos, the unique grass lineage …

The gain and loss of genes fluctuate over evolutionary time in major eukaryotic clades.
However, the full profile of these macroevolutionary trajectories is still missing. To give a …

To understand the response characteristics of indigenous microbial community in PAH-
contaminated aquifers to the coexistence of microplastics. In this paper, we constructed a …

Correspondence between evolution and development has been discussed for more than
two centuries. Recent work reveals that phylogeny− ontogeny correlations are indeed …

Taxonomically restricted genes (TRGs) are unique for a defined group of organisms and
may act as potential genetic determinants of lineage-specific, biological properties. Here, we …

Bio-augmentation could be a promising strategy to improve processes for treatment and
resource recovery from wastewater. In this study, the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus …

Fusarium wilt of banana is considered one of the most destructive plant diseases. Bacillus
subtilis R31 and TR21, isolated from Dendrobium sp. leaves, exhibit different …

Endospore formation is used by members of the phylum Firmicutes to withstand extreme
environmental conditions. Several recent studies have proposed endospore formation in …
