Genome 10K: A Proposal to Obtain Whole-Genome Sequence for 10 000 Vertebrate Species

David Haussler, +69 more
- 01 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: A precipitous drop in costs and increase in sequencing efficiency is anticipated, with concomitant development of improved annotation technology, and it is proposed to create a collection of tissue and DNA specimens for 10,000 vertebrate species specifically designated for whole-genome sequencing in the very near future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Swine and Poultry Pathogens: the Complete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a Strain of Mycoplasma synoviae

Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos, +86 more
TL;DR: Genomic comparisons revealed that reduction in genome size implied loss of redundant metabolic pathways, with maintenance of alternative routes in different species, and indicated a likely transfer event of hemagglutinin-coding DNA sequences from M. gallisepticum to M. synoviae.
Journal ArticleDOI

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos, +97 more
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence reveals extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and widespread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can molecular data place each neotropical monkey in its own branch

TL;DR: Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and Neighbor-Joining analyses suggested three monophyletic families that emerged almost at the same time during primate radiation, including the Cebidae, grouping Aotus, Cebus and Saimiri with the small callitrichines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) detection and typing by PCR: a contribution to diagnostic screening of EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between RNA in situ hybridization (RISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods is performed for EBV detection, in a group of childhood B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), aiming to validate PCR as a first, rapid method for the diagnosis of EBV-associated B -cell NHL.
