SPECIES CONCEPT. “The notion of species as it is applied to prokaryotes is substantially different from the species concept as applied to multi-cellular eukaryotes, probably to the point of being incommensurate.” https://standardsingenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40793-016-0180-8 View in LinkedIn

FACE EVOLUTION. “Evolution of the human face can be conceptualized as proceeding through structurally and functionally integrated units based on these demands but evolution of the human face as a whole would have been constrained by the mosaic nature of evolution of the soft tissue “mask,” underlying viscerocranium, dentition, and brain.” https://lnkd.in/di-WAXE View in LinkedIn

UNIQUE GENE HISTORIES. “Rather, a prokaryote’s core-genome may have one tree, while each and every component of its flex-genome will have an independent tree. Some horizontal gene transfer occurs even for genes in the core-genome, meaning that in principle every gene in a prokaryotic genome could have its own evolutionary history.” https://standardsingenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40793-016-0180-8 View in LinkedIn

IMPLICATIONS. “The implication of widespread horizontal gene transfer-induced genetic diversity is revelatory on two levels: (1) it disproves the thesis that, compared with multi-cellular eukaryotes, prokaryotic populations of invariant clones are evolutionary sluggards; and (2) it rules out the possibility of a single, true, whole-genome phylogenetic tree for any prokaryote or its pan-genome.” https://standardsingenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40793-016-0180-8 View in LinkedIn

PARALLEL IN EUKARYOTES. “The similarity to the pattern seen in some multi-cellular eukaryotes, such as aphids, that alternate between parthenogenetic and sexual reproduction is suggestive: both reproduce asexually in benign conditions, switching to a genetic-diversity-generating mechanism when conditions are harsh.” https://standardsingenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40793-016-0180-8 View in LinkedIn

BEAUTY MUSCLES. “When well developed, the two modioli make the mouth soft and provide the lateral boundaries of its natural esthetic unit, making the inferior portion of the face quite separate from the middle one.” https://page-one.live.cf.public.springer.com/pdf/preview/10.1007/s00238-001-0333-9 View in LinkedIn

PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS. “One study carried out a full genomic assessment of several hundred individual marine bacteria ( Vibrio splendidus ) collected at the same location and found essentially no two alike. The potential implications of widespread acquisition genetics via horizontal gene transfer for an understanding of evolution are profound.” https://standardsingenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40793-016-0180-8 View in LinkedIn
