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 genome mining and taxono-genomics reveal eco-physiological traits and species distinctiveness of aromatic-degrading Pseudomonas bharatica sp. nov.
TL;DR: Preferential metabolism of aromatics with advantageous eco-physiological traits renders CSV86T an ideal candidate for bioremediation and host for metabolic engineering.

Conjugal transfer of the pathogenicity island ROD21 in Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis depends on environmental conditions.
Francisco J. Salazar-Echegarai,Hugo E. Tobar,Pamela A. Nieto,Claudia A. Riedel,Susan M. Bueno +4 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that ROD21 is an unstable pathogenicity island that can be transferred by conjugation in a species-specific manner between Salmonellae and the transfer frequency of this island increases in response to environmental changes, such as pH and temperature.

TL;DR: WGS-based genotyping is suggested to be a promising alternative to the MS-based biotyping in clinical settings and nucleotide-based tools using k-mers-e.g. CLARK or Kraken-allows for accurate and fast taxonomic characterization of bacterial isolates from WGS data.

Panakeia - a universal tool for bacterial pangenome analysis
Sina Beier,Nicholas R. Thomson +1 more
TL;DR: Panakeia as mentioned in this paper provides a detailed view of the pangenome structure which can efficiently be utilised for discovery, or further in-depth analysis, of features of interest, giving insights into the biological diversity and evolution of the studied taxon.
Functional Genomic Analyses Reveal an Open Pan-genome for the Chloroviruses and a Potential for Genetic Innovation in New Isolates
26 Jan 2022
TL;DR: In this article , a functional pan-genome analysis was performed on 36 chloroviruses associated with three different algal hosts in the family Chlorellaceae, referred to as zoochlorellae because of their endosymbiotic lifestyle.

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.
