PANORAMIC INSIGHTS INTO MICROEVOLUTION AND MACROEVOLUTION OF A PREVOTELLA COPRI-CONTAINING LINEAGE IN PRIMATE GUTS

Panoramic Insights into Microevolution and Macroevolution of A Prevotella copri-containing Lineage in Primate Guts

Prevotella copri and its related taxa are widely detected in mammalian gut microbiomes and have been linked with an enterotype Collectable Coins in humans.However, their microevolution and macroevolution among hosts are poorly characterized.In this study, extensively collected marker genes and genomes were analyzed to trace their evolutionary histo

Probing Conformational States of a Target Protein in Escherichia coli Cells by in vivo Cysteine Cross-linking Coupled with Proteolytic Gel Analysis

Transporters are dynamic membrane proteins that are essential to the physiology of cells.To function, transporters must cycle between various conformational states, so to understand their mechanistic details, it is critical to characterize how their structure changes during the transport cycle.One approach to studying the dynamics of transporters t

Estimation of Physical Activity Levels Using Cell Phone Questionnaires: A Comparison With Accelerometry for Evaluation of Between-Subject and Within-Subject Variations

BackgroundPhysical activity promotes health and longevity.Further elaboration of the role of physical activity for human health in epidemiological studies on large samples requires accurate methods that are easy to use, cheap, and possible to repeat.The use of telecommunication technologies such as cell phones is highly interesting in this respect.
