Marc A. Suchard, Robert E. Weiss, Karin S. Dorman, Megha Patel, Janet S. Sinsheimer, ...

Evolutionary Similarity occurs when the branching patterns and relative branch lengths in evolutionary histories from different genes are the same or nearly the same across a set of organisms....

Molecular Evolution and Mosaicism of Leptospiral Outer Membrane Proteins Involves Horizontal DNA Transfer

Haake, David A., Suchard, Marc A., Kelley, Melissa M., Dundoo, Manjula, Alt, David P., Zuerner, Richard L.

Leptospires belong to a genus of parasitic bacterial spirochetes that have adapted to a broad range of mammalian hosts. Mechanisms of leptospiral molecular evolution were explored by sequence...

Alterations in the dynamics of circulating ghrelin, adiponectin, and leptin in human obesity

Yildiz, Bulent O., Suchard, Marc A., Wong, Ma-Li, McCann, Samuel M., Licinio, Julio

Ghrelin plays a key role in the regulation of growth hormone secretion and energy homeostasis. Adiponectin is exclusively secreted by adipose tissue and is abundantly present in the circulation, with...

Evolution of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Coreceptor Usage during Antiretroviral Therapy: a Bayesian Approach

Kitchen, Christina M. R., Philpott, Sean, Burger, Harold, Weiser, Barbara, Anastos, Kathryn, Suchard, Marc A.

There is substantial evidence for ongoing replication and evolution of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), even in individuals receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy. Viral evolution...

Use of Electrochemical DNA Biosensors for Rapid Molecular Identification of Uropathogens in Clinical Urine Specimens

Liao, Joseph C., Mastali, Mitra, Gau, Vincent, Suchard, Marc A., Møller, Annette K., Bruckner, David A., ...

We describe the first species-specific detection of bacterial pathogens in human clinical fluid samples using a microfabricated electrochemical sensor array. Each of the 16 sensors in the array...

An association has been shown between the introduction of the antidepressant fluoxetine in the USA in 1988 and a reduction in the number of suicides.

Stochastic Models for Horizontal Gene Transfer: Taking a Random Walk Through Tree Space

Suchard, Marc A.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a critical role in evolution across all domains of life with important biological and medical implications. I propose a simple class of stochastic models to...
