It seems intuitive enough that the size of an organism’s genome should be related to its evolutionary complexity. As a general rule, this tends to be true. But look within a class of organisms and you’ll find a great deal of genome size – also known as a C-value – variation. A [...]

A paper in Nature this week describes how a few mutations can alter the interactions between species in a biofilm from competitive to cooperative system. This is a great study that goes from start to finish on studying community interactions, looking at an evolved phenotype, and understanding the genetic and physiological basis for the [...] The current contributors to this blog are Jason Stajich maintains this blog site, a wiki for collaboration, and software and is an Assistant Professor University of California, Riverside in the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology and Institute for Integrative Genome Biology.

The Baylor sequencing center has published the genome of two honey bee pathogens. Bayolor and collaborators recently published a slew of honey bee genome papers and it is great that they have also chosen to follow up on the parasites as [...] Ants, fungi, and bacteria
