We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

A systematic comparison of nine bacterial and archaeal genomes reveals a low level of
gene-order (and operon architecture) conservation. Nevertheless, a number of gene pairs …

High-throughput technologies impress us almost every week with novel global results and
big numbers. They often reveal important general trends that are impossible to realize with …

Abstract The Interactive Tree Of Life (https://itol. embl. de) is an online tool for the display,
manipulation and annotation of phylogenetic and other trees. It is freely available and open …

Cellular life depends on a complex web of functional associations between biomolecules.
Among these associations, protein–protein interactions are particularly important due to their …

Proteins and their functional interactions form the backbone of the cellular machinery. Their
connectivity network needs to be considered for the full understanding of biological …

The many functional partnerships and interactions that occur between proteins are at the
core of cellular processing and their systematic characterization helps to provide context in …

Our knowledge of species and functional composition of the human gut microbiome is
rapidly increasing, but it is still based on very few cohorts and little is known about variation …

Much of the complexity within cells arises from functional and regulatory interactions among
proteins. The core of these interactions is increasingly known, but novel interactions …

To understand the impact of gut microbes on human health and well-being it is crucial to
assess their genetic potential. Here we describe the Illumina-based metagenomic …
