Takakazu Kaneko,Yasukazu Nakamura,Shusei Sato,Erika Asamizu,Tomohiko Kato,Shigemi Sasamoto,Akiko Watanabe,Kumi Idesawa,Atsuko Ishikawa,Kumiko Kawashima,Takaharu Kimura,Yoshie Kishida,Chiaki Kiyokawa,Mitsuyo Kohara,Midori Matsumoto,Ai Matsuno,Yoko Mochizuki,Shinobu Nakayama,Naomi Nakazaki,Sayaka Shimpo,Masako Sugimoto,Chie Takeuchi,Manabu Yamada,Satoshi Tabata +23 more
TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of a symbiotic bacterium Mesorhizobium loti strain MAFF303099 was determined and suggested that the symbiotic island as well as the plasmids originated and were transmitted from other genetic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genomic sequence of nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110.
Takakazu Kaneko,Yasukazu Nakamura,Shusei Sato,Kiwamu Minamisawa,Toshiki Uchiumi,Shigemi Sasamoto,Akiko Watanabe,Kumi Idesawa,Mayumi Iriguchi,Kumiko Kawashima,Mitsuyo Kohara,Midori Matsumoto,Sayaka Shimpo,Hisae Tsuruoka,Tsuyuko Wada,Manabu Yamada,Satoshi Tabata +16 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest plasticity of the B. japonicum genome is probably due to complex genome rearrangements such as horizontal transfer and insertion of various DNA elements, and to homologous recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genomic sequence of the filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120
Takakazu Kaneko,Yasukazu Nakamura,C. Peter Wolk,Tanya Kuritz,Shigemi Sasamoto,Akiko Watanabe,Mayumi Iriguchi,Atsuko Ishikawa,Kumiko Kawashima,Takaharu Kimura,Yoshie Kishida,Mitsuyo Kohara,Midori Matsumoto,Ai Matsuno,Akiko Muraki,Naomi Nakazaki,Sayaka Shimpo,Masako Sugimoto,Masaki Takazawa,Manabu Yamada,Miho Yasuda,Satoshi Tabata +21 more
TL;DR: Only 37% of the Anabaena genes showed significant sequence similarity to those of Synechocystis, indicating a high degree of divergence of the gene information between the two cyanobacterial strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Structure of the Legume, Lotus japonicus
Shusei Sato,Yasukazu Nakamura,Takakazu Kaneko,Erika Asamizu,Tomohiko Kato,Mitsuteru Nakao,Shigemi Sasamoto,Akiko Watanabe,Akiko Ono,Kumiko Kawashima,Tsunakazu Fujishiro,Midori Katoh,Mitsuyo Kohara,Yoshie Kishida,Chiharu Minami,Shinobu Nakayama,Naomi Nakazaki,Yoshimi Shimizu,Sayaka Shinpo,Chika Takahashi,Tsuyuko Wada,Manabu Yamada,Nobuko Ohmido,Makoto Hayashi,Kiichi Fukui,Tomoya Baba,Tomoko Nakamichi,Hirotada Mori,Satoshi Tabata +28 more
TL;DR: Structural features of the L. japonicus genome are reported, providing the first opportunity to look into the complex and unique genetic system of legumes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome structure of the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1.
Yasukazu Nakamura,Takakazu Kaneko,Shusei Sato,Masahiko Ikeuchi,Hiroshi Katoh,Shigemi Sasamoto,Akiko Watanabe,Mayumi Iriguchi,Kumiko Kawashima,Takaharu Kimura,Yoshie Kishida,Chiaki Kiyokawa,Mitsuyo Kohara,Midori Matsumoto,Ai Matsuno,Naomi Nakazaki,Sayaka Shimpo,Masako Sugimoto,Chie Takeuchi,Manabu Yamada,Satoshi Tabata +20 more
TL;DR: The entire genome of a thermophilic unicellular cyanobacterium, Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, was sequenced, and the presence of 28 copies of group II introns, 8 of which contained a presumptive gene for maturase/reverse transcriptase was observed.
