    A catalog of reference genomes from the human microbiome (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-05-22
    Description: The human microbiome refers to the community of microorganisms, including prokaryotes, viruses, and microbial eukaryotes, that populate the human body. The National Institutes of Health launched an initiative that focuses on describing the diversity of microbial species that are associated with health and disease. The first phase of this initiative includes the sequencing of hundreds of microbial reference genomes, coupled to metagenomic sequencing from multiple body sites. Here we present results from an initial reference genome sequencing of 178 microbial genomes. From 547,968 predicted polypeptides that correspond to the gene complement of these strains, previously unidentified ("novel") polypeptides that had both unmasked sequence length greater than 100 amino acids and no BLASTP match to any nonreference entry in the nonredundant subset were defined. This analysis resulted in a set of 30,867 polypeptides, of which 29,987 (approximately 97%) were unique. In addition, this set of microbial genomes allows for approximately 40% of random sequences from the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract to be associated with organisms based on the match criteria used. Insights into pan-genome analysis suggest that we are still far from saturating microbial species genetic data sets. In addition, the associated metrics and standards used by our group for quality assurance are presented.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2940224/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2940224/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Human Microbiome Jumpstart Reference Strains Consortium -- Nelson, Karen E -- Weinstock, George M -- Highlander, Sarah K -- Worley, Kim C -- Creasy, Heather Huot -- Wortman, Jennifer Russo -- Rusch, Douglas B -- Mitreva, Makedonka -- Sodergren, Erica -- Chinwalla, Asif T -- Feldgarden, Michael -- Gevers, Dirk -- Haas, Brian J -- Madupu, Ramana -- Ward, Doyle V -- Birren, Bruce W -- Gibbs, Richard A -- Methe, Barbara -- Petrosino, Joseph F -- Strausberg, Robert L -- Sutton, Granger G -- White, Owen R -- Wilson, Richard K -- Durkin, Scott -- Giglio, Michelle Gwinn -- Gujja, Sharvari -- Howarth, Clint -- Kodira, Chinnappa D -- Kyrpides, Nikos -- Mehta, Teena -- Muzny, Donna M -- Pearson, Matthew -- Pepin, Kymberlie -- Pati, Amrita -- Qin, Xiang -- Yandava, Chandri -- Zeng, Qiandong -- Zhang, Lan -- Berlin, Aaron M -- Chen, Lei -- Hepburn, Theresa A -- Johnson, Justin -- McCorrison, Jamison -- Miller, Jason -- Minx, Pat -- Nusbaum, Chad -- Russ, Carsten -- Sykes, Sean M -- Tomlinson, Chad M -- Young, Sarah -- Warren, Wesley C -- Badger, Jonathan -- Crabtree, Jonathan -- Markowitz, Victor M -- Orvis, Joshua -- Cree, Andrew -- Ferriera, Steve -- Fulton, Lucinda L -- Fulton, Robert S -- Gillis, Marcus -- Hemphill, Lisa D -- Joshi, Vandita -- Kovar, Christie -- Torralba, Manolito -- Wetterstrand, Kris A -- Abouellleil, Amr -- Wollam, Aye M -- Buhay, Christian J -- Ding, Yan -- Dugan, Shannon -- FitzGerald, Michael G -- Holder, Mike -- Hostetler, Jessica -- Clifton, Sandra W -- Allen-Vercoe, Emma -- Earl, Ashlee M -- Farmer, Candace N -- Liolios, Konstantinos -- Surette, Michael G -- Xu, Qiang -- Pohl, Craig -- Wilczek-Boney, Katarzyna -- Zhu, Dianhui -- HHSN272200900017C/PHS HHS/ -- N01 AI30071/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-04/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-04S1/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-05/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-05S1/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-05S2/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-06/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-06S1/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-06S2/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-07/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273-08/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004973/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004973-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004973-02/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54-AI084844/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54-HG003079/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54-HG003273/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54-HG004968/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54-HG004969/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54-HG004973/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 May 21;328(5981):994-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1183605.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20489017" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The genome of the Western clawed frog Xenopus tropicalis (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-05-01
    Description: The western clawed frog Xenopus tropicalis is an important model for vertebrate development that combines experimental advantages of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis with more tractable genetics. Here we present a draft genome sequence assembly of X. tropicalis. This genome encodes more than 20,000 protein-coding genes, including orthologs of at least 1700 human disease genes. Over 1 million expressed sequence tags validated the annotation. More than one-third of the genome consists of transposable elements, with unusually prevalent DNA transposons. Like that of other tetrapods, the genome of X. tropicalis contains gene deserts enriched for conserved noncoding elements. The genome exhibits substantial shared synteny with human and chicken over major parts of large chromosomes, broken by lineage-specific chromosome fusions and fissions, mainly in the mammalian lineage.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2994648/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2994648/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hellsten, Uffe -- Harland, Richard M -- Gilchrist, Michael J -- Hendrix, David -- Jurka, Jerzy -- Kapitonov, Vladimir -- Ovcharenko, Ivan -- Putnam, Nicholas H -- Shu, Shengqiang -- Taher, Leila -- Blitz, Ira L -- Blumberg, Bruce -- Dichmann, Darwin S -- Dubchak, Inna -- Amaya, Enrique -- Detter, John C -- Fletcher, Russell -- Gerhard, Daniela S -- Goodstein, David -- Graves, Tina -- Grigoriev, Igor V -- Grimwood, Jane -- Kawashima, Takeshi -- Lindquist, Erika -- Lucas, Susan M -- Mead, Paul E -- Mitros, Therese -- Ogino, Hajime -- Ohta, Yuko -- Poliakov, Alexander V -- Pollet, Nicolas -- Robert, Jacques -- Salamov, Asaf -- Sater, Amy K -- Schmutz, Jeremy -- Terry, Astrid -- Vize, Peter D -- Warren, Wesley C -- Wells, Dan -- Wills, Andrea -- Wilson, Richard K -- Zimmerman, Lyle B -- Zorn, Aaron M -- Grainger, Robert -- Grammer, Timothy -- Khokha, Mustafa K -- Richardson, Paul M -- Rokhsar, Daniel S -- HHSN261200800001E/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- MC_U117560482/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- P41 HD064556/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P41 HD064556-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P41 HD064556-02/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI027877/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI027877-20/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK070858/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK070858-05/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 EY018000/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- R01 EY018000-03/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM060572/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM060572-05/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM086321/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM086321-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD042294/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD042294-05/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD045776/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD045776-05/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD046661-03/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH079381/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH079381-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R21 HD065713/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R24 AI059830/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R24 AI059830-08/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R24 RR015088/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R24 RR015088-03/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG002155-05/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG02155/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Apr 30;328(5978):633-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1183670.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, Walnut Creek, CA 94598, USA. uhellsten@lbl.gov〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20431018" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sequencing of Culex quinquefasciatus establishes a platform for mosquito comparative genomics (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-10-12
    Description: Culex quinquefasciatus (the southern house mosquito) is an important mosquito vector of viruses such as West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis virus, as well as of nematodes that cause lymphatic filariasis. C. quinquefasciatus is one species within the Culex pipiens species complex and can be found throughout tropical and temperate climates of the world. The ability of C. quinquefasciatus to take blood meals from birds, livestock, and humans contributes to its ability to vector pathogens between species. Here, we describe the genomic sequence of C. quinquefasciatus: Its repertoire of 18,883 protein-coding genes is 22% larger than that of Aedes aegypti and 52% larger than that of Anopheles gambiae with multiple gene-family expansions, including olfactory and gustatory receptors, salivary gland genes, and genes associated with xenobiotic detoxification.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3740384/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3740384/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Arensburger, Peter -- Megy, Karine -- Waterhouse, Robert M -- Abrudan, Jenica -- Amedeo, Paolo -- Antelo, Beatriz -- Bartholomay, Lyric -- Bidwell, Shelby -- Caler, Elisabet -- Camara, Francisco -- Campbell, Corey L -- Campbell, Kathryn S -- Casola, Claudio -- Castro, Marta T -- Chandramouliswaran, Ishwar -- Chapman, Sinead B -- Christley, Scott -- Costas, Javier -- Eisenstadt, Eric -- Feschotte, Cedric -- Fraser-Liggett, Claire -- Guigo, Roderic -- Haas, Brian -- Hammond, Martin -- Hansson, Bill S -- Hemingway, Janet -- Hill, Sharon R -- Howarth, Clint -- Ignell, Rickard -- Kennedy, Ryan C -- Kodira, Chinnappa D -- Lobo, Neil F -- Mao, Chunhong -- Mayhew, George -- Michel, Kristin -- Mori, Akio -- Liu, Nannan -- Naveira, Horacio -- Nene, Vishvanath -- Nguyen, Nam -- Pearson, Matthew D -- Pritham, Ellen J -- Puiu, Daniela -- Qi, Yumin -- Ranson, Hilary -- Ribeiro, Jose M C -- Roberston, Hugh M -- Severson, David W -- Shumway, Martin -- Stanke, Mario -- Strausberg, Robert L -- Sun, Cheng -- Sutton, Granger -- Tu, Zhijian Jake -- Tubio, Jose Manuel C -- Unger, Maria F -- Vanlandingham, Dana L -- Vilella, Albert J -- White, Owen -- White, Jared R -- Wondji, Charles S -- Wortman, Jennifer -- Zdobnov, Evgeny M -- Birren, Bruce -- Christensen, Bruce M -- Collins, Frank H -- Cornel, Anthony -- Dimopoulos, George -- Hannick, Linda I -- Higgs, Stephen -- Lanzaro, Gregory C -- Lawson, Daniel -- Lee, Norman H -- Muskavitch, Marc A T -- Raikhel, Alexander S -- Atkinson, Peter W -- HHSN266200400001C/PHS HHS/ -- HHSN266200400039C/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200400039C/PHS HHS/ -- N01-AI-30071/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- N01AI30071/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AI000810-13/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Oct 1;330(6000):86-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1191864.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Disease Vector Research, University of California Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA. arensburger@gmail.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20929810" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genetic restoration of the Florida panther (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-10-12
    Description: The rediscovery of remnant Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) in southern Florida swamplands prompted a program to protect and stabilize the population. In 1995, conservation managers translocated eight female pumas (P. c. stanleyana) from Texas to increase depleted genetic diversity, improve population numbers, and reverse indications of inbreeding depression. We have assessed the demographic, population-genetic, and biomedical consequences of this restoration experiment and show that panther numbers increased threefold, genetic heterozygosity doubled, survival and fitness measures improved, and inbreeding correlates declined significantly. Although these results are encouraging, continued habitat loss, persistent inbreeding, infectious agents, and possible habitat saturation pose new dilemmas. This intensive management program illustrates the challenges of maintaining populations of large predators worldwide.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Johnson, Warren E -- Onorato, David P -- Roelke, Melody E -- Land, E Darrell -- Cunningham, Mark -- Belden, Robert C -- McBride, Roy -- Jansen, Deborah -- Lotz, Mark -- Shindle, David -- Howard, JoGayle -- Wildt, David E -- Penfold, Linda M -- Hostetler, Jeffrey A -- Oli, Madan K -- O'Brien, Stephen J -- N01-CO-12400/CO/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Sep 24;329(5999):1641-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1192891.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD 21702, USA. warjohns@mail.nih.gov〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20929847" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The origins of C4 grasslands: integrating evolutionary and ecosystem science (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-05-01
    Description: The evolution of grasses using C4 photosynthesis and their sudden rise to ecological dominance 3 to 8 million years ago is among the most dramatic examples of biome assembly in the geological record. A growing body of work suggests that the patterns and drivers of C4 grassland expansion were considerably more complex than originally assumed. Previous research has benefited substantially from dialog between geologists and ecologists, but current research must now integrate fully with phylogenetics. A synthesis of grass evolutionary biology with grassland ecosystem science will further our knowledge of the evolution of traits that promote dominance in grassland systems and will provide a new context in which to evaluate the relative importance of C4 photosynthesis in transforming ecosystems across large regions of Earth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Edwards, Erika J -- Osborne, Colin P -- Stromberg, Caroline A E -- Smith, Stephen A -- C4 Grasses Consortium -- Bond, William J -- Christin, Pascal-Antoine -- Cousins, Asaph B -- Duvall, Melvin R -- Fox, David L -- Freckleton, Robert P -- Ghannoum, Oula -- Hartwell, James -- Huang, Yongsong -- Janis, Christine M -- Keeley, Jon E -- Kellogg, Elizabeth A -- Knapp, Alan K -- Leakey, Andrew D B -- Nelson, David M -- Saarela, Jeffery M -- Sage, Rowan F -- Sala, Osvaldo E -- Salamin, Nicolas -- Still, Christopher J -- Tipple, Brett -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Apr 30;328(5978):587-91. doi: 10.1126/science.1177216.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA. erika_edwards@brown.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20431008" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Fossil evidence for evolution of the shape and color of penguin feathers (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-10-12
    Description: Penguin feathers are highly modified in form and function, but there have been no fossils to inform their evolution. A giant penguin with feathers was recovered from the late Eocene (~36 million years ago) of Peru. The fossil reveals that key feathering features, including undifferentiated primary wing feathers and broad body contour feather shafts, evolved early in the penguin lineage. Analyses of fossilized color-imparting melanosomes reveal that their dimensions were similar to those of non-penguin avian taxa and that the feathering may have been predominantly gray and reddish-brown. In contrast, the dark black-brown color of extant penguin feathers is generated by large, ellipsoidal melanosomes previously unknown for birds. The nanostructure of penguin feathers was thus modified after earlier macrostructural modifications of feather shape linked to aquatic flight.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Clarke, Julia A -- Ksepka, Daniel T -- Salas-Gismondi, Rodolfo -- Altamirano, Ali J -- Shawkey, Matthew D -- D'Alba, Liliana -- Vinther, Jakob -- DeVries, Thomas J -- Baby, Patrice -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Nov 12;330(6006):954-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1193604.

    Permissive secondary mutations enable the evolution of influenza oseltamivir resistance (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-06-05
    Description: The His274--〉Tyr274 (H274Y) mutation confers oseltamivir resistance on N1 influenza neuraminidase but had long been thought to compromise viral fitness. However, beginning in 2007-2008, viruses containing H274Y rapidly became predominant among human seasonal H1N1 isolates. We show that H274Y decreases the amount of neuraminidase that reaches the cell surface and that this defect can be counteracted by secondary mutations that also restore viral fitness. Two such mutations occurred in seasonal H1N1 shortly before the widespread appearance of H274Y. The evolution of oseltamivir resistance was therefore enabled by "permissive" mutations that allowed the virus to tolerate subsequent occurrences of H274Y. An understanding of this process may provide a basis for predicting the evolution of oseltamivir resistance in other influenza strains.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2913718/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2913718/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bloom, Jesse D -- Gong, Lizhi Ian -- Baltimore, David -- P01 CA132681/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA132681-01A27259/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jun 4;328(5983):1272-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1187816.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20522774" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The extinction of dinosaurs at the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary was the seminal event that opened the door for the subsequent diversification of terrestrial mammals. Our compilation of maximum body size at the ordinal level by sub-epoch shows a near-exponential increase after the K/Pg. On each continent, the maximum size of mammals leveled off after 40 million years ago and thereafter remained approximately constant. There was remarkable congruence in the rate, trajectory, and upper limit across continents, orders, and trophic guilds, despite differences in geological and climatic history, turnover of lineages, and ecological variation. Our analysis suggests that although the primary driver for the evolution of giant mammals was diversification to fill ecological niches, environmental temperature and land area may have ultimately constrained the maximum size achieved.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, Felisa A -- Boyer, Alison G -- Brown, James H -- Costa, Daniel P -- Dayan, Tamar -- Ernest, S K Morgan -- Evans, Alistair R -- Fortelius, Mikael -- Gittleman, John L -- Hamilton, Marcus J -- Harding, Larisa E -- Lintulaakso, Kari -- Lyons, S Kathleen -- McCain, Christy -- Okie, Jordan G -- Saarinen, Juha J -- Sibly, Richard M -- Stephens, Patrick R -- Theodor, Jessica -- Uhen, Mark D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Nov 26;330(6008):1216-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1194830.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, MSC03 2020, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA. fasmith@unm.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21109666" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolution of MRSA during hospital transmission and intercontinental spread (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-01-23
    Description: Current methods for differentiating isolates of predominant lineages of pathogenic bacteria often do not provide sufficient resolution to define precise relationships. Here, we describe a high-throughput genomics approach that provides a high-resolution view of the epidemiology and microevolution of a dominant strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This approach reveals the global geographic structure within the lineage, its intercontinental transmission through four decades, and the potential to trace person-to-person transmission within a hospital environment. The ability to interrogate and resolve bacterial populations is applicable to a range of infectious diseases, as well as microbial ecology.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2821690/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2821690/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harris, Simon R -- Feil, Edward J -- Holden, Matthew T G -- Quail, Michael A -- Nickerson, Emma K -- Chantratita, Narisara -- Gardete, Susana -- Tavares, Ana -- Day, Nick -- Lindsay, Jodi A -- Edgeworth, Jonathan D -- de Lencastre, Herminia -- Parkhill, Julian -- Peacock, Sharon J -- Bentley, Stephen D -- 076964/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- Department of Health/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jan 22;327(5964):469-74. doi: 10.1126/science.1182395.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 15A, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20093474" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Deep-sea oil plume enriches indigenous oil-degrading bacteria (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-08-26
    Description: The biological effects and expected fate of the vast amount of oil in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon blowout are unknown owing to the depth and magnitude of this event. Here, we report that the dispersed hydrocarbon plume stimulated deep-sea indigenous gamma-Proteobacteria that are closely related to known petroleum degraders. Hydrocarbon-degrading genes coincided with the concentration of various oil contaminants. Changes in hydrocarbon composition with distance from the source and incubation experiments with environmental isolates demonstrated faster-than-expected hydrocarbon biodegradation rates at 5 degrees C. Based on these results, the potential exists for intrinsic bioremediation of the oil plume in the deep-water column without substantial oxygen drawdown.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hazen, Terry C -- Dubinsky, Eric A -- DeSantis, Todd Z -- Andersen, Gary L -- Piceno, Yvette M -- Singh, Navjeet -- Jansson, Janet K -- Probst, Alexander -- Borglin, Sharon E -- Fortney, Julian L -- Stringfellow, William T -- Bill, Markus -- Conrad, Mark E -- Tom, Lauren M -- Chavarria, Krystle L -- Alusi, Thana R -- Lamendella, Regina -- Joyner, Dominique C -- Spier, Chelsea -- Baelum, Jacob -- Auer, Manfred -- Zemla, Marcin L -- Chakraborty, Romy -- Sonnenthal, Eric L -- D'haeseleer, Patrik -- Holman, Hoi-Ying N -- Osman, Shariff -- Lu, Zhenmei -- Van Nostrand, Joy D -- Deng, Ye -- Zhou, Jizhong -- Mason, Olivia U -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Oct 8;330(6001):204-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1195979.
