Comparative analysis of the chicken IFITM locus by targeted genome sequencing reveals evolution of the locus and positive selection in IFITM1 and IFITM3 por Bassano, I., Swee Hoe Ong, Sanz Hernandez, M., Vinkler, M., Kebede, A., Hanotte, Olivier H., Onuigbo, E., Fife, M., Kellam, P.

“…The interferon-induced transmembrane (IFITM) protein family comprises a class of restriction factors widely characterised in humans for their potent antiviral activity. Their biological activity is well documented in several animal species, but their genetic variation and biological mechanism is less well understood, particularly in avian species.Here we report the complete sequence of the domestic chicken Gallus gallus IFITM locus from a wide variety of chicken breeds to examine the detailed pattern of genetic variation of the locus on chromosome 5, including the flanking genes ATHL1 and B4GALNT4. …”

Removal of a subset of non-essential genes fully attenuates a highly virulent Mycoplasma strain por Jores, Joerg, Ma, L., Ssajjakambwe, Paul, Schieck, Elise G., Liljander, Anne M., Chandran, S., Stoffel, M.H., Cippa, V., Arfi, Y., Assad-Garcia, N., Falquet, L., Sirand-Pugnet, P., Blanchard, Alain, Lartigue, C., Posthaus, H., Labroussaa, F., Vashee, S.

“…Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms and cause a number of economically important diseases affecting humans, animals, insects, and plants. Here, we demonstrate that highly virulent Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri (Mmc) can be fully attenuated via targeted deletion of non-essential genes encoding, among others, potential virulence traits. …”
