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.

Identification and characterization of accessory genomes in bacterial species based on genome comparison and metagenomic recruitment
Mingjie Wang,Haixu Tang,Yuzhen Ye +2 more
- 01 Nov 2014
TL;DR: This work introduces a method that integrates comparison of closely related genomes using A-Bruijn graph, metagenomic recruitment, and recurrent analysis for the identification and characterization of accessory genomes, and leads to the observation that MGEs are largely specific to environments, as demonstrated in the discovery of M GEs related to Streptococcus mitis in human microbiomes.
The evolution of host specificity in the vertebrate gut symbiont Lactobacillus reuteri
Steven A. Frese
- 01 Jan 2012
TL;DR: The findings revealed that several genes involved in epithelial adherence, cell aggregation, environmental sensing, and cell lysis were important for biofilm formation and overexpressed during gut colonization, providing a first insight into the molecular processes that underlieBiofilm formation of L. reuteri.

Gilbert K. Kikwai,Bonventure Juma,Fredrick Nindo,Caroline Ochieng,Newton Wamola,K. P. Mbogo,Douglas R. Call,Elizabeth Hunsperger +7 more
TL;DR: An Escherichia coli strain isolated from an adult residing in an urban informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, and was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform, with a Col(BS512) plasmid plus aph(6)-Id, blaTEM-1B, and dfrA7 genes, which encode kanamycin, ampicillin, and trimethoprim resistance proteins, respectively.
An omics insight: A hope for HRSV vaccine
Ruchi Jain,Sathish Kumar Ramaswamy,Shanmughavel Piramanayagam +2 more
- 01 Apr 2014
TL;DR: Earlier attempts for H RSV vaccine discovery and modern treatment option for HRSV infection by reverse vaccinology approach is discussed, which helps in systematic analysis of sequences, structures and interaction of the proteins involved in virus life cycle and stimulating protective immunity.

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.
