TL;DR: The generation and analysis of over 12 megabases of sequence from 12 species, all derived from the genomic region orthologous to a segment of about 1.8 Mb on human chromosome 7 containing ten genes, show conservation reflecting both functional constraints and the neutral mutational events that shaped this genomic region.

TL;DR: AMRFinder appears to be a highly accurate AMR gene detection system based on the consistency between predicted AMR genotypes from AMRFinder and resistance phenotypes from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System.

TL;DR: The results provide support for rooting the placental mammal tree between Atlantogenata and Afrotheria and Boreoeutheria, illustrate the difficulty in resolving some branches even with large amounts of data, and demonstrate the valuable role that very large comparative sequence data sets can play in refining the understanding of the evolutionary relationships of vertebrates.

TL;DR: The Reference Gene Catalog (RGC) as discussed by the authors has been extended to include putative acid, biocide, metal, stress resistance genes, in addition to virulence genes and species-specific point mutations.

TL;DR: This work proposes a nomenclature scheme for mcr genes that it hopes will be acceptable to researchers in this area and that will reduce future confusion.
