Thermophiles are referred to as microorganisms with optimal growth temperatures of> 60°
C. Over the past few years, a number of studies have been conducted regarding …

We describe an algorithm for gene identification in DNA sequences derived from shotgun
sequencing of microbial communities. Accurate ab initio gene prediction in a short …

Microbes are known for their unique ability to adapt to varying lifestyle and environment,
even to the extreme or adverse ones. The genomic architecture of a microbe may bear the …

We combined the category (CAT) mixture model (Lartillot N, Philippe H. 2004) and the
nonstationary break point (BP) model (Blanquart S, Lartillot N. 2006) into a new model, CAT …

Background The genome sequence of the sea-ice bacterium Psychromonas ingrahamii 37,
which grows exponentially at-12C, may reveal features that help to explain how this extreme …

This study provides comprehensive quantitative evidence suggesting that adaptations to
extreme temperatures and pH imprint a discernible environmental component in the …

The organisms surviving in extreme environments deploy system support including self-
protection, and energy distribution to counter extreme environmental stresses. The …

Codon usage bias (CUB) has been described in viruses, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes and
has been linked to several cellular and environmental factors, such as the organism's growth …

Of Chargaff's four" rules" on DNA base frequencies, the functional interpretation of his
second parity rule (PR2) is the most contentious. Thermophile base compositions (GC%) …

Multiple synonymous codons code for the same amino acid, resulting in the degeneracy of
the genetic code and in the preferred used of some codons called codon bias usage (CBU) …
