Prokaryotic Genome Annotation
In the last decade, the high-throughput and relatively low cost of short-read sequencing technologies have revolutionized prokaryotic genomics. This... -
Linking prokaryotic genome size variation to metabolic potential and environment
While theories and models have appeared to explain genome size as a result of evolutionary processes, little work has shown that genome sizes carry...
-
Annotation and Comparative Genomics of Prokaryotic Transposable Elements
The data generated in nearly 30 years of bacterial genome sequencing has revealed the abundance of transposable elements (TE) and their importance in... -
Prokaryotic Argonaute Proteins as a Tool for Biotechnology
AbstractProgrammable nucleases are the most important tool for manipulating the genes and genomes of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Since the end...

Analyzing Prokaryotic Transcriptomics in the Light of Genome Data with the MicroScope Platform
Large-scale genome sequencing and the increasingly massive use of high-throughput approaches produce a vast amount of new information that completely... -
Pseudogenes act as a neutral reference for detecting selection in prokaryotic pangenomes
A long-standing question is to what degree genetic drift and selection drive the divergence in rare accessory gene content between closely related...

Biotechnological Potential of Hydrolytic Prokaryotic Component in Soils
AbstractThe phylogenetic and functional diversity of the prokaryotic complex with a biotechnological potential (decomposing biopolymers and...
-
The association of prokaryotic antiviral systems and symbiotic phage communities in drinking water microbiomes
Prokaryotic antiviral systems are important mediators for prokaryote-phage interactions, which have significant implications for the survival of...

Quantifying functional redundancy in polysaccharide-degrading prokaryotic communities
BackgroundFunctional redundancy (FR) is widely present, but there is no consensus on its formation process and influencing factors. Taxonomically...
-
Nitrogen and sulfur metabolisms encoded in prokaryotic communities associated with sea ice algae
Sea ice habitats harbour seasonally abundant microalgal communities, which can be highly productive in the spring when the availability of light...
-
Contrasting drivers of abundant phage and prokaryotic communities revealed in diverse coastal ecosystems
Phages (viruses of bacteria and archaea) are a ubiquitous top-down control on microbial communities by selectively infecting and killing cells. As...
-
A global survey of prokaryotic genomes reveals the eco-evolutionary pressures driving horizontal gene transfer
Horizontal gene transfer, the exchange of genetic material through means other than reproduction, is a fundamental force in prokaryotic genome...
-
Genome
All genetic information is recorded in one or a few DNA molecules that constitute an organism’s genome. Although the cells of an organism vary... -
Salinity-controlled distribution of prokaryotic communities in the Arctic sea-ice melt ponds
The thawing of snow and sea ice produces distinctive melt ponds on the surface of the Arctic sea ice, which covers a significant portion of the...

Technologies Promoting Genome-Based Taxonomy
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has proven to be a reliable method. Additionally, it is a commonly used approach in research and surveillance... -
Connecting genomic islands across prokaryotic and phage genomes via protein families
Prokaryotic genomes evolve via horizontal gene transfer (HGT), mutations, and rearrangements. A noteworthy part of the HGT process is facilitated by...
