Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa

Andrew J. G. Simpson, +117 more
- 13 Jul 2000 - 
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of X. fastidiosa clone 9a5c is reported, providing direct evidence of phage-mediated horizontal gene transfer and indicating that the molecular basis for bacterial pathogenicity is both conserved and independent of host.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Survey of SNP Variation Uncovers the Genetic Structure of Cattle Breeds

Richard A. Gibbs, +103 more
- 24 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: Data show that cattle have undergone a rapid recent decrease in effective population size from a very large ancestral population, possibly due to bottlenecks associated with domestication, selection, and breed formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative analyses of the complete genome sequences of Pierce's disease and citrus variegated chlorosis strains of Xylella fastidiosa

TL;DR: The genome sequence of X. fastidiosa (Temecula strain) is reported and it is concluded that these two organisms have identical metabolic functions and are likely to use a common set of genes in plant colonization and pathogenesis, permitting convergence of functional genomic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic divergence of zebu and taurine cattle identified through high-density SNP genotyping

TL;DR: Genomic regions that are potentially linked to purifying or balancing selection processes in domestic cattle were identified and are of particular interest to understand the natural and human selective pressures to which these subspecies were exposed to and how the genetic background of these populations evolved in response to environmental challenges and human manipulation.
