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.

Genome characteristics of clinical Salmonella enterica population from a state public health laboratory, New Hampshire, USA, 2017–2020
Madison R. Turcotte,Joshua T. Smith,Jinfeng Li,Xinglu Zhang,Kristin L. Wolfe,Fengxiang Gao,Christopher Benton,Cheryl P. Andam +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present some of the initial results of New Hampshire's initiative to transition to whole genome sequencing (WGS) in tracking Salmonella enterica , a bacterial pathogen that is responsible for non-typhoidal foodborne infections and enteric fever.
High quality draft genomic sequence of Arenimonas donghaensis DSM 18148T

Combining Flow Cytometry and Metagenomics Improves Recovery of Metagenome-Assembled Genomes in a Cell Culture from Activated Sludge
Nafi’u Abdulkadir,João Pedro Saraiva,Florian Schattenberg,Rodolfo Brizola Toscan,Felipe Borim Correa,Hauke Harms,Susann Müller,Ulisses Nunes da Rocha +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the integration of flow cytometry cell sorting with bioinformatics tools to recover metagenome-assembled genomes was investigated and the results indicated that species abundance is one determinant of genome recovery from metagenomes as they can recover taxa in the sorted libraries that are not present in the unsorted community.

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.
