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.

TL;DR: No evidence that these species are descended from an ancestor that contained a photosynthetic endosymbiont is revealed, and a conserved core proteome of about 6200 genes in large syntenic polycistronic gene clusters is revealed.

TL;DR: The genome sequences of a new clinical isolate of the important human pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus, A1163, and two closely related but rarely pathogenic species, Neosartorya fischeri NRRL181 and As pergillus clavatus NRRL1 are presented.

TL;DR: Analysis identified proteins potentially involved in vacuole confinement of the Anaplasmataceae, a life cycle involving a hematophagous vector, vertebrate pathogenesis, human pathogenesis and lack of transovarial transmission, which provide significant insights into the biology of these obligate intracellular pathogens.

TL;DR: The HGD contains data from 9 different species across ∼200 million years in the phylogeny of Hymenoptera, allowing researchers to leverage genetic, genome sequence and gene expression data, as well as the biological knowledge of related model organisms.
