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.

Genomic epidemiology of methicillin-resistant and -susceptible Staphylococcus aureus from bloodstream infections.
Joshua T. Smith,Elissa M. Eckhardt,Nicole B. Hansel,Tahmineh Rahmani Eliato,Isabella W. Martin,Cheryl P Andam +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generated high quality draft genomes from 323 S. aureus blood culture isolates from patients diagnosed with bloodstream infection at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, New Hampshire, USA in 2010-2018.
Application of genomics in bacterial vaccine discovery: a decade in review
TL;DR: The combined power of genomics and proteomics has led to many advances in the discovery of bacterial vaccine targets, and achievements using these latest approaches are exemplified by the vaccine clinical trials that are ongoing for protein targets against Neiserria meningitidis and Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: A genomic hybrid strain in a model multipartite genome species, the plant-symbiotic bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, is created, providing a proof-of-principle for the feasibility of genome-wide replicon-based remodelling of bacterial strains for improved biotechnological applications in precision agriculture.
The problem of the eukaryotic genome size
L. I. Patrushev,I. G. Minkevich +1 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the genome size is inversely proportional to functional efficiency of the anti-mutagenesis and/or DNA repair systems in a particular biological species and a model of eukaryotic genome evolution is proposed.
Bacterial Genome Sequencing
Hervé Tettelin,T. Feldblyum +1 more
TL;DR: A number of sequencing technologies are reviewed and examples of applications are provided and the impact genomics and new DNA sequencing approaches have had on various fields of biological research are discussed.

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.
