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: This newly acquired sequence data for these Bti strains may be useful in the search for novel insecticidal toxins to improve existing ones or develop new strategies for the biological control of important insect vectors of human and animal diseases.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence and annotation ofEnsifer (syn. Sinorhizobium) meliloti is an important symbiotic bacterial species that fixes nitrogen and its strains BO21CC and AK58 were previously investigated for their substrate utilization and their plant-growth promoting abilities showing interesting features.

Matthew D. Whiteside,Chad R. Laing,Akiff Manji,Peter Kruczkiewicz,Eduardo N. Taboada,Victor P. J. Gannon +5 more
TL;DR: SuperPhy is a predictive genomics platform that attempts to provide an essential link between the vast amounts of genome information currently being generated and phenotypic knowledge in an organism-specific context.

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.
