• Small things matter : of phages and antibiotic resistance conferring plasmids 

  Mattila, Sari (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)

  Viruses and plasmids are small units of genetic material dependent on cells either transiently or continuously. Intriguingly, stories of these small entities intertwine in antibiotic resistance crisis. Horizontal gene ...

• Long-term genomic coevolution of host-parasite interaction in the natural environment 

  Laanto, Elina; Hoikkala, Ville; Ravantti, Janne; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)

  Antagonistic coevolution of parasite infectivity and host resistance may alter the biological functionality of species, yet these dynamics in nature are still poorly understood. Here we show the molecular details of a ...

• Silent Rain : Does the atmosphere-mediated connectivity between microbiomes influence bacterial evolutionary rates? 

  Jalasvuori, Matti (Oxford University Press, 2020)

  Air carries a vast number of bacteria and viruses over great distances all the time. This leads into the continuous introduction of foreign genetic material to local established microbial communities. In this perspective, ...

• Fight evolution with evolution: plasmid-dependent phages with a wide host range prevent the spread of antibiotic resistances 

  Ojala, Ville; Laitalainen, Jarkko; Jalasvuori, Matti (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)

  The emergence of pathogenic bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics is a serious worldwide public health concern. Whenever antibiotics are applied, the genes encoding for antibiotic resistance are selected for within ...

• An ancient virus type from extreme environments 

  Rissanen, Ilona (University of Jyväskylä, 2014)
