Verner, Zdeněk; Basu, Somsuvro; Benz, Corinna; Dixit, Sameer; Dobáková, Eva; Faktorová, Drahomíra; Hashimi, Mir Mohamod Hassan; Horáková, Eva; Huang, Zhenqiu; Paris, Zdeněk; Peña-Diaz, Priscila; Ridlon, Lucie; Týč, Jiří; Wildridge, David; Zíková, Alena; Lukeš, Julius (Elsevier Sc., 2015)

The importance of mitochondria for a typical aerobic eukaryotic cell is undeniable, as the list of necessary mitochondrial processes is steadily growing. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of mitochondrial biology ...

Fancy a gene? A surprisingly complex evolutionary history of peroxiredoxins.

Zíková, Alena; Oborník, Miroslav; Lukeš, Julius (Shared Science Publishers, 2015)

While the phylum Apicomplexa includes “only” several thousand described species of obligatory parasites of animals, it may in fact be the most specious group of parasitic protists with over a million species [1]. The best ...

Unexpectedly Streamlined Mitochondrial Genome of the Euglenozoan Euglena gracilis

Dobáková, Eva; Flegontov, Pavel; Skalický, Tomáš; Lukeš, Julius (Oxford University Press, 2015)

In this study, we describe the mitochondrial genome of the excavate flagellate Euglena gracilis. Its gene complement is reduced as compared with the well-studied sister groups Diplonemea and Kinetoplastea.We have identified ...
