BGI-RIS: An integrated information resource and comparative analysis workbench for rice genomics
Download2004
Wang, J., Chen, Y., Zhao, H., Dai, M., Zhao, W., Huang, X., Zhang, Y., Ren. X., Jiao, Y., Wong, G., Wei, S., Ni, P., Yu, J., Zhang, J., Li, S., Yang, H., Fu, J., He, X.
Rice is a major food staple for the world's population and serves as a model species in cereal genome research. The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) has long been devoting itself to sequencing, information analysis and biological research of the rice and other crop genomes. In order to facilitate...

Genomic and phenotypic comparison of Lactobacillus reuteri isolates from food and intestinal ecosystems provides insights to probiotic applications
DownloadFall 2018
Some of the food fermenting lactobacilli are derived from the animal intestine. Lactobacillus reuteri provides a model organism to study molecular mechanisms of ecological adaptation from gut to food. The overall objective of this dissertation was to characterize ecological fitness of L. reuteri...

Horizontal transfer of genes and genomes in an endosymbiotic system: Investigation of the movement of intracellular bacteria and related gene transfer
DownloadFall 2013
The genus Wolbachia is comprised of intracellular gram negative bacteria capable of infecting a wide range of insect hosts. In arthropods, Wolbachia are reproductive parasites that can cause cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, feminization or male killing, each of which enhances the...

Insights into temperature adaptation in the Thermotogae gained through transcriptomics and comparative genomics
DownloadFall 2014
Thermophilic microbes are extremophiles that live at high temperatures. In order to survive and maintain function of their biological molecules, they have a suite of characteristics not found in organisms that grow at moderate temperatures (mesophiles) that range from the cellular to the protein...

ReAS: Recovery of Ancestral Sequences for Transposable Elements from the Unassembled Reads of a Whole Genome Shotgun
Download2005
Ye, C., Wang, J., Li, S., Li, R., Wong, G.K.S., Ye, J., Yang, H., Han, Y., Yu, J.
We describe an algorithm, ReAS, to recover ancestral sequences for transposable elements (TEs) from the unassembled reads of a whole genome shotgun. The main assumptions are that these TEs must exist at high copy numbers across the genome and must not be so old that they are no longer...
