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.

Computer-assisted generation and curation of genome-scale metabolic models with case studies in the methanogen genus Methanosarcina
Matthew N. Benedict
- 30 May 2014
TL;DR: The genome-scale model provides quantitative and qualitative hypotheses that can be used to help iteratively guide additional experiments to further the state of knowledge about methanogenesis and is 96% accurate in knockout lethality predictions compared to currently available experimental data.

A cost-effective and universal strategy for complete prokaryotic genome sequencing proposed by computer simulation
TL;DR: Simulation study of various pyrosequencing strategies by simulated assembling from 100 prokaryotic genomes shows that a single end 454 Jr. run combined with a paired end 4 54 Jr.run (8 kb library) is a cost-effective way for proKaryotic whole genome sequencing.

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.
