TL;DR: The purpose of the current assessment is to provide some guidance to users regarding the accuracy of currently available tools in various settings, and to provide a benchmark of data sets for assessing future tools.

TL;DR: BirA is the first example of a transcriptional regulator with a conserved binding signal in eubacteria and archaea and predicts involvement of the transmembrane protein BioY in biotin transport.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that about half of the analyzed genes have species-specific isoforms, and about a quarter of elementary alternatives are not conserved between the human and mouse genomes.

TL;DR: A new structural class of T-boxes containing duplicated terminator-antiterminator elements and unusual reduced T- boxes regulating initiation of translation in the Actinobacteria is described.

TL;DR: The results indicate that although xenologous gene displacement is a major force in bacterial evolution, a significant majority of orthologistous gene sets in three major bacterial lineages evolved in accordance with the clock-like model.
