MODULES WITH SIMILARITY. "We find that disease pairs with overlapping disease modules display significant molecular similarity, elevated coexpression of their associated genes, and similar symptoms and high comorbidity. At the same time, non-overlapping disease pairs lack any detectable pathobiological relationships." http://science.sciencemag.org/content/347/6224/1257601 View in LinkedIn

NETWORK MODULE. "The network is tightly connected, with the edges typically linking the nodes through multiple genes. Clearly, this network is a module of a much large network that connects most of the virus world." http://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-10-158 View in LinkedIn

SHARED GENE FAMILY. "This network also includes at least three distinct groups of viruses, the NCLDV, adenoviruses and an assemblage of bacteriophages." http://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-10-158 View in LinkedIn

SHARED JUMPING GENES. "The evolutionary relationship between virophages, polintons and transpovirons is best represented as a network in which the edges correspond to shared genes." http://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-10-158 View in LinkedIn

NO DIVIDE. "The discovery of giant viruses infecting unicellular eukaryotes, in particular amoeba, eliminated the distinction between viruses and cellular life forms in terms of size and genomic complexity." https://lnkd.in/eMRxCdg View in LinkedIn

DEEP UNKNOWN. "Viral communities influence microbial populations and human health, but their study is hampered by a large degree of uncharacterized sequence diversity. It has been estimated that 0.0002% of the global viral gene pool has been sequenced and deep sequencing of viruses purified from the environment typically yields a large majority of unidentified sequences." https://lnkd.in/e8TmVZf View in LinkedIn

BIG FLEAS HAVE LITTLE FLEAS. "Much like bacteria, the giant viruses (sometimes called giruses) possess their own parasites and their own mobilomes, i.e. communities of associated mobile genetic elements." http://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-10-158 View in LinkedIn

MOBILOMES. "Giant viruses have been shown to possess their own mobilomes that include virophages, small viruses that parasitize on giant viruses of the Mimiviridae family, and transpovirons, distinct linear plasmids." Not mobile homes. https://lnkd.in/eEM2HAP View in LinkedIn

DIVERSE FREE CODE. "Recent advances of genomics and metagenomics reveal remarkable diversity of viruses and other selfish genetic elements." https://lnkd.in/eEM2HAP View in LinkedIn

CELL CYCLE CHECKPOINTS. "There are checkpoints for numerous aspects of cell reproduction: nutrition, DNA replication, telomere capping, DNA damage, cell growth and size, chromosome alignment on the mitotic spindle, and spindle orientation. Clearly, keeping all the different processes needed for the cell cycle in proper order and ensuring their completion without damage involves constant short-term reading and writing on the genome." http://www.thethirdwayofevolution.com/people/view/james-a-shapiro View in LinkedIn
