The microbial genomics of glacier-fed streams: adaptations to an extreme ecosystem

Massimo Bourquin

Glacier-fed streams are the cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and unstable streams that are fed by glacial meltwater. Despite these extreme conditions, they harbour a diverse and abundant microbial diversity that develops into biofilms, covering the boulders and s ...

Disentangle genus microdiversity within a complex microbial community by using a multi-distance long-read binning method: example of Candidatus Accumulibacter

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aline Sondra Adler, Marco Pagni, Simon Marius Jean Poirier

Complete genomes can be recovered from metagenomes by assembling and binning DNA sequences into metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs). Yet, the presence of microdiversity can hamper the assembly and binning processes, possibly yielding chimeric, highly fragm ...

The Quest for Genes Involved in Adaptation to Climate Change in Ruminant Livestock

Stéphane Joost, Elia Vajana

Simple Summary: After domestication in specific regions, livestock followed human migrations and colonized the whole world. During this population expansion, human and natural selection, together with demographic events, molded the livestock genome leading ...

Rapid identification and interpretation of gene‐environment associations using the new R.SamBada landscape genomics pipeline

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Estelle Rochat, Sylvie Stucki, Kevin Leempoel, Elia Vajana, Solange Catherine Gaillard

Samβada is a genome‐environment association (GEA) software, designed to search for signatures of local adaptation. However, pre‐ and post‐processing of data can be labour‐intensive, preventing wider uptake of the method. We have now developed R.SamBada, an ...

An Interactive Gameplay to Crowdsource Multiple Sequence Alignment of Genome Sequences: Genenigma

Kalpani Anuradha Welivita

Comparative genomics is a field of research that compares genomes of different organisms to identify common patterns. It is a powerful method used to identify the genetic diseases that cause mutations. Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is an intermediate s ...

Combining landscape genomics and ecological modelling to investigate local adaptation of indigenous Ugandan cattle to East Coast fever

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana

East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal sickness affecting cattle populations of eastern, central, and southern Africa. The disease is transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, and caused by the protozoan Theileria parva parva, which invades host lym ...

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, ...

Limits and patterns of cytomegalovirus genomic diversity in humans

Jeffrey David Jensen, Cornelia Pokalyuk

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) exhibits surprisingly high genomic diversity during natural infection although little is known about the limits or patterns of HCMV diversity among humans. To address this deficiency, we analyzed genomic diversity among congeni ...

Multi-scale landscape genomic models : the role of very high resolution digital elevation models in evolutionary biology

Kevin Leempoel

Environmental heterogeneity is one of the main actors of biodiversity and species adaptation as it exerts a selective pressure on observable characteristics of living organisms. Consequently, local adaptation favours certain genetic variants and, by doing ...
