Coronavirus Genomics and Bioinformatics Analysis by Kwok-Yung Yuen, Yi Huang, Susanna K. P. Lau, Patrick C. Y. Woo

“…Variable numbers of small ORFs are present between the various conserved genes (ORF1ab, spike, envelope, membrane and nucleocapsid) and downstream to nucleocapsid gene in different coronavirus lineages. Phylogenetically, three genera, Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus and Gammacoronavirus, with Betacoronavirus consisting of subgroups A, B, C and D, exist. …”

Revisiting the taxonomy of Korean Ischnochiton species (Polyplacophora, Ischnochitonidae) based on a combined analysis of morphological and molecular data by Jina Park, Yukyung Kim, Eggy Triana Putri, Joong-Ki Park

“…This species is morphologically distinguished by its small body size of adults, smooth lateral areas on valves and small perinotum scales sculptured with weak longitudinal ribs. Phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA cox1 sequence provides distinct resolution at the species level, but interrelationships amongst Ischnochiton species remain unresolved. …”

The dar Genes of Pseudomonas chlororaphis PCL1606 Are Crucial for Biocontrol Activity via Production of the Antifungal Compound 2-Hexyl, 5-Propyl Resorcinol by Claudia E. Calderón, Alejandro Pérez-García, Antonio de Vicente, Francisco M. Cazorla

“…An analysis of the pCGNOV-1 genomic DNA revealed the presence of five open reading frames that were homologous to dar genes and had an organization that resembled the arrangement of previously described P. chlororaphis strains. Phylogenetic studies resulted in the clustering of PCL1606 with the P. chlororaphis subgroup, which supported the renaming of this strain from P. fluorescens to P. chlororaphis PCL1606. …”

The antibiotic resistance crisis and the development of new antibiotics by Harald Brüssow

“…Scientifically, substantial progress has been achieved over recent years to define the chemical properties needed to overcome the permeation barrier in Gram‐negative pathogens; in extending the chemical space of antibiotic candidates by full modular synthesis of suitable molecules; by extending bioprospecting to previously ‘unculturable’ bacteria or unusual bacteria; by attacking bacterial targets on the outer bacterial membrane; and by looking for support from structural biology, genomics, molecular genetics, phylogenetic analyses and deep machine learning approaches. …”

Going coastal: shared evolutionary history between coastal British Columbia and Southeast Alaska wolves (Canis lupus). by Byron V Weckworth, Natalie G Dawson, Sandra L Talbot, Melanie J Flamme, Joseph A Cook

“…<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>By combining mitochondrial DNA datasets from throughout the Pacific Northwest, we examined the genetic relationship between coastal British Columbia and Southeast Alaska wolf populations and compared them with adjacent continental populations. Phylogenetic analysis indicates complete overlap in the genetic diversity of coastal British Columbia and Southeast Alaska wolves, but these populations are distinct from interior continental wolves. …”

Insilico Analysis of &#947;- Aminobutaric Acid Transaminase (GABA-T) of Brassica napus (Rape) by Md. Shahjahan, Shahidur Rahman

“…We found that our experimental protein sequence is very unstable and the graph of Local Quality Estimate shows that the sequence is porn to mutation and value of Z score is above two in comparison with non-redundant set of PDB structure. In addition, the phylogenetic tree reveals that GABA-T of Malus domestica Solanum lycopersicum , Oryza sativa , Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus were evolved from a common ancestor gene.
