Oxygen minimum zones, also known as oceanic "dead zones," are widespread oceanographic features currently expanding because of global warming. Although inhospitable to metazoan life, they support a cryptic microbiota whose metabolic activities affect nutrient and trace gas cycling within the ocean. Here, we report metagenomic analyses ubiquitous abundant but uncultivated oxygen zone microbe (SUP05) related chemoautotrophic gill symbionts deep-sea clams mussels. The SUP05 metagenome harbors...
Abstract Marine Group A (MGA) is a candidate phylum of Bacteria that ubiquitous and abundant in the ocean. Despite being prevalent, structural functional properties MGA populations remain poorly constrained. Here, we quantified diversity population structure relation to nutrients O2 concentrations oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) Northeast subarctic Pacific Ocean using combination catalyzed reporter deposition fluorescence situ hybridization (CARD-FISH) 16S small subunit ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA)...
Reverse complementary DNA sequences – that are inadvertently given backwards with all purines and pyrimidines transposed can affect sequence analysis detrimentally unless taken into account. We present an open-source, high-throughput software tool –v-revcomp (http://www.cmde.science.ubc.ca/mohn/software.html) to detect reorient reverse entries of the small-subunit rRNA (16S) gene from sequencing datasets, particularly environmental sources. The supports lengths ranging full length down short...
Technological advances in mass spectrometry and other detection methods are leading to larger proteomics datasets. However, when papers describing such information published the enormous volume of data can typically only be provided as supplementary a tabular form through journal website. Several journals field, together with Human Proteome Organization's (HUPO) Proteomics Standards Initiative institutions Institute for Systems Biology working towards standardizing reporting data, but just...
