Fungi and animals may share a common ancestor to nuclear receptors.
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a large family of transcription factors. One hallmark of this family is the ligand-binding domain (LBD), for its primary sequence, structure, and regulatory function. To date, NRs have been found exclusively in animals and sponges, which has led to the generally accepted notion that they arose with them. We have overcome the limitations of primary sequence searches b...
متن کاملA STUDY OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS DRUG RESISTANCE IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem and serious challenge to tuberculosis (TB) control programs. Information about the susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against anti-tuberculosis drugs is an important aspect to TB control. The objectives of the s...
متن کاملEvolutionary History and Ongoing Transmission of Phylogenetic Sublineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype in China
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype originated in China and has undergone a dramatic population growth and global spread in the last century. Here, a collection of M. tuberculosis Beijing family isolates from different provinces across all China was genotyped by high-resolution (24-MIRU-VNTR) and low-resolution, high-rank (modern and ancient sublineages) markers. The molecular profiles ...
متن کاملBeijing sublineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis differ in pathogenicity in the guinea pig.
The Beijing family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains is part of lineage 2 (also known as the East Asian lineage). In clinical studies, we have observed that isolates from the sublineage RD207 of lineage 2 were more readily transmitted among humans. To investigate the basis for this difference, we tested representative strains with the characteristic Beijing spoligotype from four of the five...
متن کاملLowest Common Ancestor(LCA)
Before embarking into the technicalities of the different algorithms for LCA, let us first agree on the terminology that we will be using throughout this article. Let there be a rooted tree T(E,V). A node x ∈ T is called an ancestor of a node y ∈ T if the path from the root of T to y goes through x. Also, a node v ∈ T is called to be a common ancestor of x and y if it is an ancestor of both x a...
