    Nat Genet 28:281-5. 2001
    ..Thus, combined protein universal trees are highly congruent with SSU rRNA trees in their strong support for the separate monophyly of domains as well as the early evolution of thermophilic Bacteria...

    J R Brown
    Microbial Bioinformatics Department, Division of Bioinformatics, Glaxo SmithKline Pharmaceuticals, 1250 South Collegeville Road, P O Box 5089, UP1345, Collegeville, Pennsylvania 19426 0989, USA
    Syst Biol 50:497-512. 2001
    ..Promising new approaches to genomic analyses, which could add to our understanding prokaryotic evolution and help in their classification, are discussed...
  3. ncbi Systematic identification of selective essential genes in Helicobacter pylori by genome prioritization and allelic replacement mutagenesis
    A F Chalker
    Department of Anti Infective Research, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Collegeville, Pennsylvania 19426, USA
    J Bacteriol 183:1259-68. 2001
    ..We propose that the products of a number of these H. pylori-specific essential genes may be suitable targets for novel anti-H. pylori therapies...

    J R Brown
    Department of Bioinformatics, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, 1250 South Collegeville Road, UP1345, Collegeville PA 19426 0989, USA
    J Mol Evol 49:485-95. 1999
    ..Although all bacterial GlnRS form a monophyletic group, the broad phyletic distribution of this tRNA synthetase suggests that multiple gene transfers from eukaryotes to bacteria occurred shortly after the Archaea-eukaryote divergence...

    M J Stanhope
    Bioinformatics, GlaxoSmithKline, Collegeville, PA 19426, USA
