Modeling Dependence in Evolutionary Inference for Proteins

RESEARCH IN COMPUTATIONAL MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, RECOMB 2018, Vol. 10812, pp. 122–137.

By: G. Larson*, J. Thorne* & S. Schmidler n

author keywords: Protein structure; Evolution; Dynamic programming; Phylogeny; Diffusion process
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that this extended, site-dependent model (SDM), extended to account for correlated evolutionary drift among neighboring amino acid positions, yields a significant reduction of bias in estimated evolutionary distances and helps further improve phylogenetic tree reconstruction.

Polyphasic characterization of four soil-derived phenanthrene-degrading Acidovorax strains and proposal of Acidovorax carolinensis sp nov.

SYSTEMATIC AND APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY, 41(5), 460–472.

By: D. Singleton*, J. Lee*, A. Dickey n, A. Stroud*, E. Scholl n, F. Wright n, M. Aitken*

author keywords: Acidovorax; Phenanthrene; Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Comamonadaceae / chemistry; Comamonadaceae / classification; Comamonadaceae / genetics; Comamonadaceae / physiology; DNA, Bacterial; Genes, Bacterial; Genome, Bacterial / genetics; Metabolic Networks and Pathways / genetics; North Carolina; Phenanthrenes / metabolism; Phylogeny; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Soil Microbiology; Soil Pollutants / metabolism
TL;DR: Four bacterial strains identified as members of the Acidovorax genus were isolated from two geographically distinct but similarly contaminated soils in North Carolina, USA, characterized, and their genomes sequenced, indicating that they likely represent a single species within the genus.

Improving wood properties for wood utilization through multi-omics integration in lignin biosynthesis

NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 9.

By: J. Wang n, M. Matthews n, C. Williams n, R. Shi n, C. Yang n, S. Tunlaya-Anukit n, H. Chen n, Q. Li* ...

MeSH headings : Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Lignin / biosynthesis; Lignin / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Populus / genetics; Populus / metabolism; Transcriptome / genetics; Trees / genetics; Trees / metabolism; Wood / chemistry; Wood / physiology; Xylem / metabolism
TL;DR: A multi-omics quantitative integrative analysis of lignin biosynthesis can advance the strategic engineering of wood for timber, pulp, and biofuels and may lead to greater understanding of other pathways for improved growth and adaptation. (via Semantic Scholar)

On the substructure controls in rare variant analysis: Principal components or variance components?

GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY, 42(3), 276–287.

author keywords: population substructure; principal components analysis; rare variant association tests; variance components
MeSH headings : Computer Simulation; Confounding Factors, Epidemiologic; Genetic Association Studies; Genetic Variation; Humans; Models, Genetic; Principal Component Analysis
TL;DR: Evaluating the performance of SKAT coupling with principal components (PC) or variance components (VC) based PS correction methods found that PC‐based methods can account for confounding effects in most scenarios except for admixture, although the number of sufficient PCs depends on the PS complexity and the type of variants used.
