Functional and Structural Determinants of Long- and Short-Term Evolution of Herpesvirus Proteins
Abstract. Understanding the factors that shape viral protein evolution is a central question in evolutionary virology. However, these determinants are poor

Systematic analysis of structural disorder in the minimal proteome of Mycoplasma pneumoniae | Microbiology Spectrum
We performed a proteome-wide investigation of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs)
in Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mpn, class Mollicutes). A considerable fraction of the Mpn proteome (17%) is embedded in...

Comparative genomics reveal a novel phylotaxonomic order in the genus Fusobacterium - Communications Biology
Parsing the genetic diversity within the Fusobacterium genus provides ample evidence of species miss-classification and of undescribed species, and calls for a re-analysis of F. nucleatum features ass...
