Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the coverage of the cyanobacterial phylum using diversity-driven genome sequencing
Patrick M. Shih,Patrick M. Shih,Dongying Wu,Amel Latifi,Seth D. Axen,David P. Fewer,Emmanuel Talla,Alexandra Calteau,Fei Cai,Nicole Tandeau de Marsac,Rosmarie Rippka,Michael Herdman,Kaarina Sivonen,Thérèse Coursin,Thierry Laurent,Lynne Goodwin,Matt Nolan,Karen W. Davenport,Cliff Han,Edward M. Rubin,Jonathan A. Eisen,Tanja Woyke,Muriel Gugger,Cheryl A. Kerfeld,Cheryl A. Kerfeld +24 more
TL;DR: This phylum-wide study highlights the benefits of diversity-driven genome sequencing, identifying more than 21,000 cyanobacterial proteins with no detectable similarity to known proteins, and foregrounds the diversity of light-harvesting proteins and gene clusters for secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics of freshwater Fe-oxidizing bacteria: implications for physiology, ecology, and systematics.
David Emerson,Erin K. Field,Olga Chertkov,Karen W. Davenport,Lynne Goodwin,Christine Munk,Matt Nolan,Tanja Woyke +7 more
TL;DR: Multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) confirmed the relationship of these two organisms to one another, and indicated they may form a novel order, the Gallionellalaes, within the Betaproteobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enabling the democratization of the genomics revolution with a fully integrated web-based bioinformatics platform
Po-E Li,Chien Chi Lo,Joseph J. Anderson,Joseph J. Anderson,Karen W. Davenport,Kimberly A. Bishop-Lilly,Yan Xu,Sanaa Ahmed,Shihai Feng,Vishwesh P. Mokashi,Patrick S. G. Chain +10 more
TL;DR: This bioinformatics platform is an initial attempt at Empowering the Development of Genomics Expertise (EDGE) in a wide range of applications for microbial research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Comparison of Escherichia coli O104:H4 Isolates from 2009 and 2011 Reveals Plasmid, and Prophage Heterogeneity, Including Shiga Toxin Encoding Phage stx2

TL;DR: Comparative genome analysis indicates that, while the Georgian strains are the nearest neighbors to the 2011 outbreak isolates sequenced to date, structural and nucleotide-level differences are evident in the Stx2 phage genomes, the mer/tet antibiotic resistance island, and in the prophage and plasmid profiles of the strains; and multiphenotype analysis showed that 2009EL–2071 possessed higher resistance to polymyxin and membrane-disrupting agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
High level of intergenera gene exchange shapes the evolution of haloarchaea in an isolated Antarctic lake
Matthew Z. DeMaere,Timothy J. Williams,Michelle A. Allen,Mark V. Brown,John A. E. Gibson,John Rich,Federico M. Lauro,Michael L. Dyall-Smith,Karen W. Davenport,Tanja Woyke,Nikos C. Kyrpides,Susannah G. Tringe,Ricardo Cavicchioli +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in Deep Lake, Antarctica, haloarchaea exchange DNA between distinct genera, not just species, with some of the DNA being long (up to 35 kb) and virtually 100% conserved, a remarkable level of intergenera gene exchange.
