Inferring transcript phylogenies

Alternative splicing, an unknown mechanism 20 years ago, is now recognized as a major mechanism for proteome and transcriptome diversity, particularly in mammals - some researchers conjecture that up to 90% of human genes are alternatively spliced. Despite ...

Comparative genomics of Esx genes from clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis provides evidence for gene conversion and epitope variation

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Swapna Uplekar

The 23-membered Esx protein family is involved in the host-pathogen interactions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These secreted proteins are among the most immunodominant antigens recognized by the human immune system and have thus been used to develop vacc ...

Genome-wide mRNA expression correlates of viral control in CD4+ T-cells from HIV-1-infected individuals

Jacques Fellay, Patrick Descombes, Amalio Telenti

There is great interindividual variability in HIV-1 viral setpoint after seroconversion, some of which is known to be due to genetic differences among infected individuals. Here, our focus is on determining, genome-wide, the contribution of variable gene e ...

Comparative genomic and phylogeographic analysis of Mycobacterium leprae

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh, Alexandre Gattiker

Reductive evolution and massive pseudogene formation have shaped the 3.31-Mb genome of Mycobacterium leprae, an unculturable obligate pathogen that causes leprosy in humans. The complete genome sequence of M. leprae strain Br4923 from Brazil was obtained b ...

Reductive evolution and niche adaptation inferred from the genome of Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer

Stewart Cole

Mycobacterium ulcerans is found in aquatic ecosystems and causes Buruli ulcer in humans, a neglected but devastating necrotic disease of subcutaneous tissue that is rampant throughout West and Central Africa. Here, we report the complete 5.8-Mb genome sequ ...

The complement of protein kinases of the microsporidium Encephalitozoon cuniculi in relation to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe

BACKGROUND: Microsporidia, parasitic fungi-related eukaryotes infecting many cell types in a wide range of animals (including humans), represent a serious health threat in immunocompromised patients. The 2.9 Mb genome of the microsporidium Encephalitozoon ...

Complete genome sequence of the entomopathogenic and metabolically versatile soil bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila

Bruno Lemaitre

Pseudomonas entomophila is an entomopathogenic bacterium that, upon ingestion, kills Drosophila melanogaster as well as insects from different orders. The complete sequence of the 5.9-Mb genome was determined and compared to the sequenced genomes of four P ...

Multiplex sequencing of 1.5 Mb of the Mycobacterium leprae genome

Stewart Cole

The nucleotide sequence of 1.5 Mb of genomic DNA from Mycobacterium leprae was determined using computer-assisted multiplex sequencing technology. This brings the 2.8-Mb M. leprae genome sequence to approximately 66% completion. The sequences, derived from ...

Lysogenic phages of Clostridium perfringens: mapping of the chromosomal attachment sites

Stewart Cole

The sites of insertion for two lysogenic bacteriophages have been mapped on the chromosome of Clostridium perfringens strain CPN50 using two techniques based on pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Phage phi 29 was mapped to the 1 Mb region of the 3.6 Mb geno ...
