Although of limited metabolic diversity, methanogenic archaea or methanogens possess
great phylogenetic and ecological diversity. Only three types of methanogenic pathways are …

The archaeal domain is currently divided into two major phyla, the Euryarchaeota and
Crenarchaeota. During the past few years, diverse groups of uncultivated mesophilic …

Abstract tRNAscan-SE has been widely used for transfer RNA (tRNA) gene prediction for
over twenty years, developed just as the first genomes were decoded. With the massive …

Background The availability of multiple, essentially complete genome sequences of
prokaryotes and eukaryotes spurred both the demand and the opportunity for the …

Motivation Protein solubility is an important property in industrial and therapeutic
applications. Prediction is a challenge, despite a growing understanding of the relevant …

Lactic acid-producing bacteria are associated with various plant and animal niches and play
a key role in the production of fermented foods and beverages. We report nine genome …

Background Sequencing the genomes of multiple, taxonomically diverse eukaryotes
enables in-depth comparative-genomic analysis which is expected to help in reconstructing …

Microorganisms are ubiquitous on Earth and can inhabit almost every environment. In a
complex heterogeneous environment or in face of ecological disturbance, the microbes …

Background The timescale of prokaryote evolution has been difficult to reconstruct because
of a limited fossil record and complexities associated with molecular clocks and deep …

Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate
alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial …
