TL;DR: Sequence analysis indicates that H. pylori has well-developed systems for motility, for scavenging iron, and for DNA restriction and modification, and consistent with its restricted niche, it has a few regulatory networks, and a limited metabolic repertoire and biosynthetic capacity.

TL;DR: Comparison of the Mycoplasma genitalium genome to that of Haemophilus influenzae suggests that differences in genome content are reflected as profound differences in physiology and metabolic capacity between these two organisms.

TL;DR: Automated partial DNA sequencing was conducted on more than 600 randomly selected human brain complementary DNA (cDNA) clones to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which will facilitate the tagging of most human genes in a few years at a fraction of the cost of complete genomic sequencing.

TL;DR: 2,672 new, independent cDNA clones isolated from four human brain cDNA libraries are partially sequenced to generate 2,375 expressed sequence tags to nuclear-encoded genes, representing an approximate doubling of the number of human genes identified by DNA sequencing and may represent as many as 5% of the genes in the human genome.

TL;DR: This system couples informatics tools that mine candidate SNPs from public expressed sequence tag resources and automatically designs assay reagents with detection by a chip-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry platform to provide preliminary insights into patterns of polymorphism in a genomewide collection of gene-based polymorphisms.
