Marine viruses are considered to be major ecological, evolutionary, and biogeochemical
drivers of the marine environment, responsible for nutrient recycling and determining …

The genetic material of the three domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota) is
always double-stranded DNA, and their GC content (molar content of guanine plus cytosine) …

The presence of tRNA genes in bacteriophages has been explained on the basis of codon
usage (tRNA genes are retained in the phage genome if they correspond to codons more …

Background Cost effective next generation sequencing technologies now enable the
production of genomic datasets for many novel planktonic eukaryotes, representing an …

Background While the genomes of eukaryotes and Archaea both encode the histone-fold
domain, only eukaryotes encode the core histone paralogs H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. With …

The chaetognaths constitute a small and enigmatic phylum of little marine invertebrates.
Both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes have numerous originalities, some phylum …

There are many gaps in our knowledge of how life cycle variation and organismal body
architecture associate with molecular evolution. Using the diverse range of green algal body …

Given the high therapeutic value of the staphylococcal phage, the genome co-evolution of
the phage and the host has gained great attention. Though the genome-wide AT richness in …

Ostreococcus tauri is an easily cultured representative of unicellular algae (class
Mamiellophyceae) that abound in oceans worldwide. Eight complete 13–22 Mb genomes of …

Codon usage analysis has been a classical area of study for decades and is important for
evolution, mRNA translation, and new gene discovery. Recently, genome sequencing has …
