The dynamic nature of eukaryotic genomes

LW Parfrey, DJG Lahr, LA Katz - Molecular biology and evolution, 2008 - academic.oup.com
Analyses of diverse eukaryotes reveal that genomes are dynamic, sometimes dramatically
so. In numerous lineages across the eukaryotic tree of life, DNA content varies within …

The chastity of amoebae: re-evaluating evidence for sex in amoeboid organisms

…, LW Parfrey, EAD Mitchell, LA Katz… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Amoebae are generally assumed to be asexual. We argue that this view is a relict of early
classification schemes that lumped all amoebae together inside the ‘lower’ protozoa, …

[HTML][HTML] The Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP): illuminating the functional diversity of eukaryotic life in the oceans through …

…, U John, MD Johnson, AR Juhl, A Kamp, LA Katz… - PLoS …, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Current sampling of genomic sequence data from eukaryotes is relatively poor, biased, and
inadequate to address important questions about their biology, evolution, and ecology; this …

Origin and diversification of eukaryotes

LA Katz - Annual review of microbiology, 2012 - annualreviews.org
The bulk of the diversity of eukaryotic life is microbial. Although the larger eukaryotes—namely
plants, animals, and fungi—dominate our visual landscapes, microbial lineages compose …

Estimating the timing of early eukaryotic diversification with multigene molecular clocks

…, DJG Lahr, AH Knoll, LA Katz - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Although macroscopic plants, animals, and fungi are the most familiar eukaryotes, the bulk
of eukaryotic diversity is microbial. Elucidating the timing of diversification among the more …

Synthesis of phylogeny and taxonomy into a comprehensive tree of life

…, K Gude, DS Hibbett, LA Katz… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships that unite all lineages (the tree of life) is a grand
challenge. The paucity of homologous character data across disparately related lineages …

Effects of intensive BP control in CKD

…, BI Freedman, W Haley, JH Ix, LA Katz… - Journal of the …, 2017 - journals.lww.com
The appropriate target for BP in patients with CKD and hypertension remains uncertain. We
report prespecified subgroup analyses of outcomes in participants with baseline CKD in the …

Relation between work and phosphate metabolite in the in vivo paced mammalian heart

RS Balaban, HL Kantor, LA Katz, RW Briggs - Science, 1986 - science.org
la) was collected at low heart rates, either ungated or gated to the cardiac cycle. Under
these control conditions the average heart rate was 65 beat/min, with average systolic and …

Receptor-mediated transcytosis of IgA in MDCK cells is via apical recycling endosomes.

G Apodaca, LA Katz, KE Mostov - The Journal of cell biology, 1994 - rupress.org
Classically, the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor and its ligand, IgA, are thought to be
sorted from basolateral early endosomes into transcytotic vesicles that directly fuse with the …

Comparison of gastric emptying of a nondigestible capsule to a radio‐labelled meal in healthy and gastroparetic subjects

…, WL Hasler, JM Lackner, LA Katz… - Alimentary …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Background Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) using a radio‐labelled meal is used to
measure gastric emptying. A nondigestible capsule, SmartPill, records luminal pH, temperature, …
