      Tesfahun, Almaz Nigatu; Alexeeva, Marina; Tomkuvienė, Miglė; Arshad, Aysha; Guragain, Prashanna; Klungland, Arne; Klimašauskas, Saulius; Ruoff, Peter; Bjelland, Svein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)
      DNA polymerase III mis-insertion may, where not corrected by its 3′→ 5′ exonuclease or the mismatch repair (MMR) function, result in all possible non-cognate base pairs in DNA generating base substitutions. The most ...
    • Evolutionary analysis of cellular reduction and anaerobicity in the hyper-prevalent gut microbe Blastocystis 

      Záhonová, Kristína; Low, Ross S.; Warren, Christopher J.; Cantoni, Diego; Herman, Emily K.; Yiangou, Lyto; Ribeiro, Cláudia A.; Phanprasert, Yasinee; Brown, Ian R.; Rueckert, Sonja; Baker, Nicola L.; Tachezy, Jan; Betts, Emma L.; Gentekaki, Eleni; van der Giezen, Mark; Clark, C. Graham; Jackson, Andrew P.; Dacks, Joel B.; Tsaousis, Anastasios D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Blastocystis is the most prevalent microbial eukaryote in the human and animal gut, yet its role as commensal or parasite is still under debate. Blastocystis has clearly undergone evolutionary adaptation to the gut environment ...
