Evolutionary Consequences of Metabolic Competition and Cooperation in Microbial Communities
… species. Gaining a better understanding of the evolutionary process within such dense communities has important implications for both clarifying genomic variation observed in the present as well as predicting future changes in microbial communities of particular interest to human health and …

Origin and evolution of protein fold designs
… superfamilies (H). Phylogenies that describe the evolution of domain structures and proteomes were reconstructed from the structural census and used to generate timelines of domain discovery. Phylogenies of CATH domains at T and H levels of structural abstraction and associated chronologies …

Exploring the Role of Wolbachia Endobacteria in the Biology of Filarial Nematode Parasites
… Following infection with the endobacteria, reductive evolution could have removed redundant genes or pathways present in both partners. Thus, deletions in the worm's genome would render it dependent on <italic>Wolbachia</italic> for vital gene products. Conversely, …
