  • Evolution of the cytosolic iron-sulfur cluster assembly machinery in blastocystis species and other microbial eukaryotes 

    Tsaousis, A. D., E. Gentekaki, L. Eme, D. Gaston, et al. 2014. "Evolution of the cytosolic iron-sulfur cluster assembly machinery in blastocystis species and other microbial eukaryotes." Eukaryotic cell 13(1): 143-153.
    The cytosolic iron/sulfur cluster assembly (CIA) machinery is responsible for the assembly of cytosolic and nuclear iron/sulfur clusters, cofactors that are vital for all living cells. This machinery is uniquely found in ...

  • Gene-content evolution in discobid mitochondria deduced from the phylogenetic position and complete mitochondrial genome of Tsukubamonas globosa 

    Kamikawa, R., M. Kolisko, Y. Nishimura, A. Yabuki, et al. 2014. "Gene-content evolution in discobid mitochondria deduced from the phylogenetic position and complete mitochondrial genome of Tsukubamonas globosa." Genome biology and evolution.
    The unicellular eukaryotic assemblage Discoba (Excavata) comprises four lineages: the Heterolobosea, Euglenozoa, Jakobida and Tsukubamonadida. Discoba has been considered as a key assemblage for understanding the early ...

  • Modelling prokaryote gene content 

    Spencer, M., E. Susko, and A. J. Roger. 2007. "Modelling prokaryote gene content." Evolutionary bioinformatics online 2: 157-178.
    The patchy distribution of genes across the prokaryotes may be caused by multiple gene losses or lateral transfer. Probabilistic models of gene gain and loss are needed to distinguish between these possibilities. Existing ...
