  1. 1. Environmental sequencing to infer patterns of eukaryotic evolution : Combining long-read and short-read metabarcoding

    Författare :Mahwash Jamy; Fabien Burki; Micah Dunthorn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protists; eukaryotes; environmental sequencing; ribosomal DNA; PacBio; long-read metabarcoding; phylogenetics; salt barrier; habitat evolution; eukaryotes evolution; evolutionary rate; Apicomplexa; pathogen; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Sammanfattning : Our view of eukaryotes is biased towards plants, animals, and fungi. But the vast majority of eukaryotic diversity is microbial in nature. These microbial eukaryotes are key players in all ecosystems on earth and are collectively known as protists. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Molecular methods for microbial ecology : Developments, applications and results

    Författare :Lucas Sinclair; Alexander Eiler; Josh Neufeld; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; microbiology; metagenomics; ecology; metabolism; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics;

    Sammanfattning : Recent developments in DNA sequencing technology allow the study of microbial ecology at unmatched detail. To fully embrace this revolution, an important avenue of research is the development of bioinformatic tools that enable scientists to leverage and manipulate the exceedingly large amounts of data produced.

  3. 3. Novel insights into protist diversity and niche adaptation using single cell transcriptomics

    Författare :Henning Onsbring; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Alastair Simpson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protists; microbial eukaryotes; cultivation-independent methods; single-cell RNA sequencing; phylogenomics; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Protists are a polyphyletic group of microbes that represents the vast majority of eukaryotic diversity. Despite this, most sequencing efforts targeting eukaryotes have been focused on animals, fungi and plants. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Expanding the Chlamydiae tree : Insights into genome diversity and evolution

    Författare :Jennah E. Dharamshi; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Alexander Probst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PVC superphylum; Chlamydiae; chlamydia; intracellular; symbiosis; endosymbiont; pathogen; marine sediment; sponge microbiome; metagenomics; uncultured microbial diversity; phylogenomics; microbial evolution; eukaryote evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Chlamydiae is a phylum of obligate intracellular bacteria. They have a conserved lifecycle and infect eukaryotic hosts, ranging from animals to amoeba. Chlamydiae includes pathogens, and is well-studied from a medical perspective. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Microbial evolution: patterns of diversity in aquatic protists

    Författare :Ramiro Logares; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dinoflagellates; biodiversity; lakes; Evolution; diversification; microbes; biogeography;

    Sammanfattning : Little is known about how microbes diversify in nature. In contrast to the more studied multicellular organisms, microbes can have a) huge population sizes, b) high reproductive rates and c) long-distance dispersal. These characteristics can affect their tempo and mode of diversification in ways that still need to be understood. LÄS MER
