The microbial pan-genome
1.2K
TL;DR: A decade after the beginning of the genomic era, the question of how genomics can describe a bacterial species has not been fully addressed and the pan-genome, which is composed of a "core genome" containing genes present in all strains, and a "dispensable genome", might be orders of magnitude larger than any single genome.

TL;DR: A phage tail-like bacteriocin suppresses competitors in metapopulations of pathogenic bacteria. Phage-derived tailocins are strain-specific and have persisted in bacterial populations for centuries.

How Genomics Is Changing What We Know About the Evolution and Genome
Iain MacArthur
- 06 Jan 2020
TL;DR: How vaccination is changing the circulating B. pertussis population at the gene-level, and how new sequencing technologies are revealing previously unknown levels of inter- and intra-strain variation at the genome-level are discussed.

TL;DR: This study explored the microdiversity of 98 Single Amplified Genomes retrieved from the surface waters of the underexplored North Indian Ocean and indicated that this uncultured Kordia lineage likely represents a novel Kordian species that contains the proteorhodopsin gene and has a widespread spatial and vertical distribution.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.

TL;DR: The genomic sequence of six strains representing the five major disease-causing serotypes of Streptococcus agalactiae, the main cause of neonatal infection in humans, was generated and Mathematical extrapolation of the data suggests that the gene reservoir available for inclusion in the S. agalactic pan-genome is vast and that unique genes will continue to be identified even after sequencing hundreds of genomes.

Phages and the Evolution of Bacterial Pathogens: from Genomic Rearrangements to Lysogenic Conversion
TL;DR: The current review presents the available genomics and biological data on prophages from bacterial pathogens in an evolutionary framework to demonstrate that the chromosomes from bacteria and their viruses (bacteriophages) are coevolving.
