Many freshwater and terrestrial species can undergo anhydrobiosis—life without water—and thereby withstand desiccation, freezing, and other insults.

References: Nucleic Acids Res. The comparative genomic analysis described here also suggests a revision of the taxonomy of the Lactobacillales. First in the list is … Author summary Placozoans are a phylum of tiny (approximately 1 mm) marine animals that are found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters. MBGD is a database for comparative analysis of completely sequenced microbial genomes, the number of which is now growing rapidly. The brown alga, Cladosiphon okamuranus (Okinawa mozuku), is one of the most important edible seaweeds, and it is cultivated for market primarily in Okinawa, Japan. 47:D382-D389 (2019) We previously reported a draft genome of the S-strain. They are characterized by morphological simplicity, with only a handful of cell types, no neurons, no tissue organization, and even no axial polarity. We explored the comparative biology of anhydrobiosis in 2 species of tardigrade that differ in the mechanisms they use to enter anhydrobiosis. Here is a sample blast result (from BLAST on the NCBI site, using a tomato sequence as a query)‏ The list of hits starts with the best match (most similar).

The aim of MBGD is to facilitate comparative genomics from various points of view such as ortholog identification, paralog clustering, motif analysis and gene order comparison. Four strains, denominated S, K, O, and C, with distinctively different morphologies, have been cultivated commercially since the early 2000s. Our comparative genomics analysis revealed a glycosyltransferase gene that was more common in Lactobacillus crispatus strains isolated from LVM (red bacteria) and DVM (low abundance of red lactobacilli, diverse bacterial population in multiple colors and forms, thinner mucus layer). IKMC -- International Knockout Mouse Consortium web portal Find information about mutated mouse genes. Welcome to MBGD.

Use comparative genomics approach to characterize gene models and identify putative cis-regulatory regions of RefSeq Gene Orthologs. E-value: expected number of chance alignments; the smaller the E-value, the better the match. Author summary Tardigrades are justly famous for their abilities to withstand environmental extremes.
