      Its a good opinionated piece which I think is the first commissioned article in a Nature journal from CDFD. The paper systematically highlights how genome evolution in pathogenic bacteria can be put to action in healthcare.

      Contrary to some theoretical predictions, this research shows that increased migration did not affect average population size of Drosophila.

      This paper, besides being explicitly written, is also the first report on evolution of opportunistic mycobacterium which are the leading cause of death among immune compromised hosts including HIV patients.

      This is an interesting paper that provides a possible framework for better understanding of the stress response in mycobacteria. A genome-scale inventory of such genes across different mycobacteria may be able to highlight the importance of CRP-regulons in pathogenesis. Through a series of mobility shift assays, the authors have proved that the CRP family of putative regulons in fact operate as the DNA binding proteins. It will be interesting to know how these CRP proteins might regulate the expression of virulence genes of especially the latent and dormant mycobacteria in response to a variety of environmental and metabolic signals.
