  • Phylogenomic analysis of natural selection pressure in Streptococcus genomes 

    Anisimova, Maria, Joseph Bielawski, Katherine Dunn, and Ziheng Yang. 2007. "Phylogenomic analysis of natural selection pressure in Streptococcus genomes." Bmc Evolutionary Biology 7: 154-154.
    Background: In comparative analyses of bacterial pathogens, it has been common practice to discriminate between two types of genes: (i) those shared by pathogens and their non-pathogenic relatives (core genes), and (ii) ...

  • Positive Darwinian Selection in the Piston That Powers Proton Pumps in Complex I of the Mitochondria of Pacific Salmon 

    Garvin, Michael R., Joseph P. Bielawski, and Anthony J. Gharrett. 2011. "Positive Darwinian Selection in the Piston That Powers Proton Pumps in Complex I of the Mitochondria of Pacific Salmon." Plos One 6(9): 24127-e24127.
    The mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation is well understood, but evolution of the proteins involved is not. We combined phylogenetic, genomic, and structural biology analyses to examine the evolution of twelve mitochondrial ...

  • Prevalence and evolution of core photosystem II genes in marine cyanobacterial viruses and their hosts 

    Sullivan, Matthew B., Debbie Lindell, Jessica A. Lee, Luke R. Thompson, et al. 2006. "Prevalence and evolution of core photosystem II genes in marine cyanobacterial viruses and their hosts." Plos Biology 4(8): 1344-1357.
    Cyanophages ( cyanobacterial viruses) are important agents of horizontal gene transfer among marine cyanobacteria, the numerically dominant photosynthetic organisms in the oceans. Some cyanophage genomes carry and express ...
