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: L'ilot genomique pks code une machinerie de biosynthese complexe synthetisant la colibactine, un metabolite secondaire de type polycetide/peptide non-ribosomal (PK/NRP) sur les cellules eucaryotes in vitro and in vivo.
Comparative genomic analysis of Bradyrhizobium strains with natural variability in the efficiency of nitrogen fixation, competitiveness, and adaptation to stressful edaphoclimatic conditions
TL;DR: Two groups of strains, each containing eight putative natural variants of B. japonicum or B. diazoefficiens, are focused on, finding genetic variations that might be related to biological nitrogen fixation, competitiveness for nodule occupancy, and adaptation to the stressful conditions of the Brazilian Cerrado soils.
Pan-genome Search and Storage
Guillaume Holley
- 01 Jan 2018
TL;DR: This thesis addresses the problem of pan-genome indexing by proposing a new alignment-free, reference-free and incremental data structure that considers genome fragments as well as assemblies in input: the Bloom Filter Trie (BFT).

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.
