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.

Functional annotation and distribution overview of RNA families in 27 Streptococcus agalactiae genomes
Ivan Rodrigo Wolf,Alexandre Rossi Paschoal,Cecilia Quiroga,Douglas Silva Domingues,Rogério Fernandes de Souza,Lucienne Garcia Pretto-Giordano,Laurival Antonio Vilas-Boas +6 more
TL;DR: The identification of RNA families provides an insight over ncRNAs, sRNAs and ribozymes function, that can be further explored as targets for antibiotic development or studied in gene regulation of cellular processes.
Legionella pneumophila pangenome reveals strain-specific virulence factors
TL;DR: The dispensable genome disclosed by the pangenomic analysis seems to be a reservoir of new traits that have mainly been acquired by horizontal gene transfer and could confer evolutionary advantages over strains lacking them.
Phylogenomics, CAZyome and core secondary metabolome of Streptomyces albus species.
Maria Soledad Vela Gurovic,Maria Soledad Vela Gurovic,Marina Lucía Díaz,Marina Lucía Díaz,Cristian Andrés Gallo,Julián Dietrich +5 more
TL;DR: A phylogenomic study conducted with different bioinformatic tools such as TYGS, REALPHY and AAI comparisons revealed a high rate of misidentified Streptomyces albus genomes in GenBank as mentioned in this paper.

Complete Genome Sequence of Yersinia pestis Strains Antiqua and Nepal516: Evidence of Gene Reduction in an Emerging Pathogen
Patrick S. G. Chain,Ping Hu,Stephanie Malfatti,Lyndsay Radnedge,Frank W. Larimer,Lisa M. Vergez,Patricia L. Worsham,May C. Chu,Gary L. Andersen +8 more
TL;DR: The results presented here clearly demonstrate the differences between the two biovar antiqua lineages and support the notion that grouping Y. pestis strains based strictly on the classical definition of biovars does not accurately reflect the phylogenetic relationships within this species.

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: Over 1.2 million previously unknown genes represented in these samples, including more than 782 new rhodopsin-like photoreceptors are identified, suggesting substantial oceanic microbial diversity.

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.
