Evolutionary developmental biology, or Evo-Devo for short, has become an established field
that, broadly speaking, seeks to understand how changes in development drive major …

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising therapeutic approach for microbiota-
associated pathologies, but our understanding of the post-FMT microbiome assembly …

In each genome, synonymous codons are used with different frequencies; this general
phenomenon is known as codon usage bias. It has been previously recognised that codon …

As many inflammatory and metabolic disorders have been associated with structural deficits
of the human gut microbiota, the principles and mechanisms that govern its initialization and …

Biological redox reactions drive planetary biogeochemical cycles. Using a novel, structure-
guided sequence analysis of proteins, we explored the patterns of evolution of enzymes …

Metabolic phenotypes are pivotal for many areas, but disentangling how evolutionary history
and environmental adaptation shape these phenotypes is an open problem. Especially for …

Motivation The rapid drop in sequencing costs has produced many more (predicted) protein
sequences than can feasibly be functionally annotated with wet-lab experiments. Thus …

The promoter regions of gene regulation are under evolutionary constraints and earlier
studies uncovered that they are characterized by enrichment of functional non-B DNA …

Functional metagenomics enables the study of unexplored bacterial diversity, gene families,
and pathways essential to microbial communities. However, discovering biological insights …

It is generally believed that mycorrhiza is a microecosystem composed of mycorrhizal fungi,
host plants and other microscopic organisms. The mycorrhiza of Rhododendron dauricum is …
