TL;DR: The genome sequence reveals that the severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus known as the Tor2 isolate is only moderately related to other known coronaviruses, andylogenetic analysis of the predicted viral proteins indicates that the virus does not closely resemble any of the three previously known groups of coronavirs.

TL;DR: Comparison of the sequence of the MGC clones to reference genome sequences reveals that most cDNA clones are of very high sequence quality, although it is likely that some cDNAs may carry missense variants as a consequence of experimental artifact, such as PCR, cloning, or reverse transcriptase errors.

TL;DR: Overall, RHA1 appears to have evolved to simultaneously catabolize a diverse range of plant-derived compounds in an O2-rich environment and is established as an important model for studying actinomycete physiology.

TL;DR: It is found that the paralogs that have been lost since the tetraploidization event are enriched for several molecular functions, but have found no such enrichment in the extantParalogs.

TL;DR: The complete sequence and characterization of the smallest and least-well-characterized of the RHA1 plasmids, pRHL3, is reported, an actinomycete invertron, containing large terminal inverted repeats with a tightly associated protein and a predicted open reading frame (ORF) that is similar to that of a mycobacterial rep gene.
