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.

Phylogenetic systematics of Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibrio pure culture and metagenomically assembled genomes suggest existence of 59 genera and 75 species, alongside possession of open pangenomes with an abundance of carbohydrate-active enzyme family isoforms
23 Nov 2022
TL;DR: In this paper , the pangenome and function of 64 metagenomically assembled genomes (MAGs) and 71 culture representatives of Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibria were analyzed.
Stimulatory Effects of Androgens on Eel Primary Ovarian Development - from Phenotypes to Genotypes
Yung-Sen Huang,Chung-Yen Lin +1 more

TL;DR: The initial ovary was important to the outcomes of androgen treatments, and ePAV (expression presence-absence variation) is existing in Japanese eel by analyze DEGs; core, unique, or accessory genes were identified, and the sensitivities of initial ovaries were correlated with their gene expression profiles.

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.
