Deepti Sharma recently defended her Ph.D. thesis titled "Harnessing Genomes and Building Molecules for Investigating Biosynthetic Mechanisms in Model Group V Cyanobacteria". Her research uncovered the biosynthetic pathways encoded by the Fischerella genus through genome sequencing and analysis of four Group V cyanobacterial strains. She identified gene clusters for producing secondary metabolites like hapalosin and microcystins. Further analysis revealed the gene cluster for the hapalindole family of terpenoid indole alkaloids. Through reconstitution studies and metabolite extractions, she illuminated the initial stages of the hapalindole pathway. Additionally, her work provided regioselective conditions for biomimetic pre
This document summarizes Jonathan Eisen's presentation on seagrass as a model system for plant microbiome studies. It describes how Eisen initially knew little about seagrasses but connected with colleague Jay Stachowicz, a seagrass expert, to learn more. They collaborated on a proposal to study the microbiomes of seagrasses. Initial studies found the microbial communities varied by tissue type, with more variation below ground. A global study by Eisen's group using the Zostera Experimental Network sampled seagrass microbiomes from sites around the world. The study found seagrass leaf microbiomes resembled local water, while roots had microbial communities enriched in sulfur metabolism.

The need for a phylogeny driven genomic encyclopedia of eukaryotes #SMBEEuksJonathan Eisen
油
This document discusses the need for a phylogeny-driven genomic encyclopedia of eukaryotes. It notes that current sources of information on sequenced eukaryotic genomes, such as Wikipedia and GOLD, are disorganized and lack phylogenetic context. The document then analyzes genomic data from the poorly studied protist Collodictyon using 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA sequencing and phylogenomic trees inferred from 124 genes. The analysis finds that Collodictyon is closely related to Diphylleia and occupies a very early divergence in the eukaryote tree of life, either alone or as the sister group to Malawimonas. This suggests Collodictyon represents an important new lineage for

Functional annotation of the Asian citrus psyllid genome identified genes, assigned gene ontology terms, and mapped genes to pathways. Gene ontology and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes between infected and uninfected psyllids identified enriched terms involved in the cytoskeleton, endocytosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Improved functional annotation using GOanna added depth to the gene ontology annotation and identified additional enriched pathways related to response to hypoxia and regulation of cytoskeletal remodeling.
