Oxidative Stress Resistance in Deinococcus radiodurans (2011, background): “radiodurans genome contains various mobile genetic elements such as inteins (protein splicing elements typically inserted into genes involved in DNA metabolism), insertion sequences (ISs), small noncoding repeats (SNRs), and two prophages (381).”
Bacterial membrane lipids: diversity in structures and pathways. (2016, background): “radiodurans has an unusual lipid composition, because a diversity of GLs and GPLs has been described, whereas the synthesis pathways of the common phospholipids PG, PE and CL seem to be absent (Huang and Anderson 1989; Huang and Anderson 1995; Makarova et al. 2001).”
The COG database: an updated version includes eukaryotes (2003, background): “The most important applications of the COGs are functional annotation of newly sequenced genomes [16–20] and genome-wide evolutionary analyses [21–25].”
The Surprising Creativity of Digital Evolution: A Collection of Anecdotes from the Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life Research Communities (2018, neutral): “Some flowers act as acoustic beacons to attract echo-locating bats [1], extremophile microbes repair their DNA to thrive in presence of extreme radiation [2], bombardier beetles repel predators with explosive chemical reactions [3], and parasites reprogram host brains, inducing suicide for the paras”
Genomics of bacteria and archaea: the emerging dynamic view of the prokaryotic world (2008, background): “radiodurans did not immediately reveal any unique features of the genome or of DNA repair systems that could explain the exceptional ability of this organism to survive radiation damage although homologs of plant proteins implicated in desiccation resistance and, at the time, not found in any other ”
