The Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (CMBN) (Senter for molekylærbiologi og nevrovitenskap) is a Norwegian
Centre of Excellence at the University
of Oslo and Rikshospitalet, Oslo University Hospital. CMBN shall take on a leading role in elucidating
the role of DNA repair and genome maintenance mechanisms in preventing
neurological disease and brain ageing.

CMBN scientists have recently published a paper on the evolution of pathogenic Neisseria in the journal PLoS Pathogens: Aspholm M, Aas FE, Harrison OB, Quinn D, Vik Å, Viburiene R, Tønjum T, Moir J, Maiden MCJ, Koomey M (2010) The paper is highlighted as Featured Research in PLoS Pathogens: Aspholm, Aas and colleagues describe two successive alterations in a single gene that can be linked first to all species within the genus Neisseria and then the species N. meningitidis. Their findings provide a dramatic example of how rare changes in core metabolic proteins can be connected to significant macroevolutionary shifts and have significant implications for the evolution of related bacterial species within a single host. |
