Dealing with complexity: evolutionary engineering and genome shuffling.

Comparative analysis of the growing number of microbial genome sequences has shown a high plasticity of genomes and several mechanisms for the adaptation of microbial cells to changing environmental conditions have been discovered. By contrast, the underlying metabolic networks of microorganisms are under strict control and relatively rigid, which poses a significant challenge for rational meta...

Getting a better picture of microbial evolution en route to a network of genomes.

Most current thinking about evolution is couched in the concept of trees. The notion of a tree with recursively bifurcating branches representing recurrent divergence events is a plausible metaphor to describe the evolution of multicellular organisms like vertebrates or land plants. But if we try to force the tree metaphor onto the whole of the evolutionary process, things go badly awry, becaus...

CGAT: Comparative Genome Analysis Tool for Closely Related Microbial Genomes

Recently, complete sequences of two or more microbial genomes that are closely related to each other have been determined (e.g. two strains of Helicobacter pylori [1]), and detailed comparison of such genomes becomes a useful approach for elucidating evolutionary principles or mechanisms of genomes (e.g. [2]). For such an analysis, it is required not only to compare the sequences themselves but...

A Model for the Effect of Homologous Recombination on Microbial Diversification

The effect of homologous recombination (HR) on the evolution of microbial genomes remains contentious as competing hypotheses seek to explain the evolutionary dynamics of microbial species. Evidence for HR between microbial genomes is widespread, and this process has been proposed to act as a cohesive force that can constrain the diversification of microbial lineages. We seek to characterize th...
