Trace metals are inorganic elements that are required for all organisms in very low
quantities. They serve as cofactors and activators of metalloproteins involved in a variety of …

Significance: Bioinformatics has brought important insights into the field of selenium
research. The progress made in the development of computational tools in the last two …

Selenium (Se) is an important trace element that mainly occurs in the form of selenocysteine
in selected proteins. In prokaryotes, Se is also required for the synthesis of selenouridine …

Aphids (Aphidoidea) are a diverse group of hemipteran insects that feed on plant phloem
sap. A common finding in studies of aphid genomes is the presence of a large number of …

Biological trace metals are needed by all living organisms in very small quantities. They play
important roles in a variety of key cellular processes, resulting in a varying degree of …

Abstract The Catalan Initiative for the Earth BioGenome Project (CBP) is an EBP-affiliated
project network aimed at sequencing the genome of the> 40 000 eukaryotic species …

The roles of Asgard archaea in eukaryogenesis and marine biogeochemical cycles are well
studied, yet their contributions in soil ecosystems are unknown. Of particular interest are …

Selenoproteins that contain selenocysteine (Sec) are found in all kingdoms of life. Although
they constitute a small proportion of the proteome, selenoproteins play essential roles in …

Selenoproteins are a diverse class of proteins containing selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st
amino acid, incorporated into proteins during translation through a unique recoding …

Background: Biological trace elements are used in small amounts but are required for all
living organisms. They are key components of many proteins and enzymes involved in …
