Viral genetic variation accounts for a third of variability in HIV-1 set-point viral load in Europe

HIV-1 set-point viral load-the approximately stable value of viraemia in the first years of chronic infection-is a strong predictor of clinical outcome and is highly variable across infected individuals. To better understand HIV-1 pathogenesis and the evol ...

New Genome Similarity Measures based on Conserved Gene Adjacencies

Bernard Moret, Shachi Shailesh Deshpande

Many important questions in molecular biology, evolution, and biomedicine can be addressed by comparative genomic approaches. One of the basic tasks when comparing genomes is the definition of measures of similarity (or dissimilarity) between two genomes, ...

Multiple Assembly Rules Drive the Co-occurrence of Orthopteran and Plant Species in Grasslands: Combining Network, Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches

François Gillet, Bertrand Fournier

Understanding the factors underlying the co-occurrence of multiple species remains a challenge in ecology. Biotic interactions, environmental filtering and neutral processes are among the main mechanisms evoked to explain species co-occurrence. However, th ...

Phylogenetic comparison of Desulfotomaculum species of subgroup 1a and description of Desulfotomaculum reducens sp.nov

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi

A genome and physiological comparison was made of the type strains of Desulfotomaculum species belonging to subgroup 1a and of 'Desulfotomaculum reducens' strain MI-1. Phenotypically, 'Desulfotomaculum reducens' strain MI-1 can be distinguished from the ot ...

Attached biofilms and suspended aggregates are distinct microbial lifestyles emanating from differing hydraulics

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter

Small-scale hydraulics affects microbial behaviour at the cell level1, trophic interactions in marine aggregates2 and the physical structure and function of stream biofilms3,4. However, it remains unclear how hydraulics, predictably changing from small str ...

Red squirrels in the British Isles are infected with leprosy bacilli

Stewart Cole, Philippe Busso, Chloé Marie Loiseau, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Jérémie Piton

Leprosy, caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae or the recently discovered Mycobacterium lepromatosis, was once endemic in humans in the British Isles. Red squirrels in Great Britain (Sciurus vulgaris) have increasingly been observed with leprosy-li ...

A maximum-likelihood approach for building cell-type trees by lifting

Philipp Bucher, Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Nishanth Ulhas Nair, Mingfu Shao, Paulina Grnarova, Laura Madeleine Hunter

Background: In cell differentiation, a less specialized cell differentiates into a more specialized one, even though all cells in one organism have (almost) the same genome. Epigenetic factors such as histone modifications are known to play a significant r ...
