update, Si tienen problemas para instalar blast en ubuntu, prueben biolinux http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bio-linux-7-latest.iso se puede quemar en un DVD, o se puede hacer una llave usb, esta distribución ya incluye el blast y mucho otro software de bio-cosas.
Se podrán analizar los siguientes metagenomas: a) Cuatro Ciénegas b) Microbioma humano Hay que elegir un sistema en cual se desee trabajar. 1. El trabajo puede se hará en equipos de trabajo de 2 a 3 personas. 2. Se tiene que elegir un problema de interés, previamente aprobado por los profesores, para analizar distintos metagenomas.…

1. Sharon, I. et al. Time series community genomics analysis reveals rapid shifts in bacterial species, strains, and phage during infant gut colonization. Genome research 23, 111–20 (2013). The gastrointestinal microbiome undergoes shifts in species and strain abundances, yet dynamics involving closely related microorganisms remain largely unknown because most methods cannot resolve them. We developed…

Fundamental and Applied Limnology / Archiv für Hydrobiologie 182, 135–159 (2013). Abstract: The microbial diversity of five unconnected high altitude (≥ 3800 m a.s.l.) wetlands from the Chilean Altiplano was analyzed by…

1. Beazley, M. J. et al. Microbial community analysis of a coastal salt marsh affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. PloS one 7, e41305 (2012). Coastal salt marshes are highly sensitive wetland ecosystems that can sustain long-term impacts from anthropogenic events such as oil spills. In this study, we examined the microbial communities of…

PLoS genetics (2009).at Abstract The Escherichia coli species represents one of the best-studied model organisms, but also encompasses a variety of commensal and pathogenic strains that diversify by high rates of genetic change.…

1. Friedman, J., Alm, E. & Shapiro, B. Sympatric speciation: when is it possible in bacteria? PloS one (2013).at Abstract According to theory, sympatric speciation in sexual eukaryotes is favored when relatively few loci in the genome are sufficient for reproductive isolation and adaptation to different niches. Here we show a similar result for clonally…

Population Genomics of Early Events in the Ecological Differentiation of Bacteria DOI: 10.1126/science.1218198 Science 336, 48 (2012); B. Jesse Shapiro et al. Genetic exchange is common among bacteria, but its effect on population diversity during ecological differentiation remains controversial. A fundamental question is whether advantageous mutations lead to selection of clonal genomes or, as in…

Resource Partitioning and Sympatric Differentiation Among Closely Related Bacterioplankton DOI: 10.1126/science.1157890 Science 320, 1081 (2008); Dana E. Hunt et al. Identifying ecologically differentiated populations within complex microbial communities remains challenging, yet is critical for interpreting the evolution and ecology of microbes in the wild. Here we describe spatial and temporal resource partitioning among Vibrionaceae strains…

1. Wielgoss, S. & Barrick, J. Mutation rate dynamics in a bacterial population reflect tension between adaptation and genetic load. PNAS 3, (2013). Mutations are the ultimate source of heritable variation for evolu- tion. Understanding how mutation rates themselves evolve is thus essential for quantitatively understanding many evolutionary processes. According to theory, mutation rates should…

Olivier Tenaillon, et al. Science 335, 457 (2012); DOI: 10.1126/science.1212986 To estimate the number and diversity of beneficial mutations, we experimentally evolved 115 populations of Escherichia coli to 42.2°C for 2000 generations and sequenced one genome from each population. We identified 1331 total mutations, affecting more than 600 different sites. Few mutations were shared…

Second-Order Selection for Evolvability in a Large Escherichia coli Population. Robert J. Woods, et al. Science 331, 1433 (2011); In theory, competition between asexual lineages can lead to second-order selection for greate revolutionary potential. To test this hypothesis, we revived a frozen population of Escherichia coli from a long-term evolution experiment and compared the fitness…
