TL;DR: Bandage (a Bioinformatics Application for Navigating De novo Assembly Graphs Easily) is a tool for visualizing assembly graphs with connections that presents new possibilities for analyzing de novo assemblies that are not possible through investigation of contigs alone.

TL;DR: The DNA sequence of K. pneumoniae isolates from around the world is determined and it is shown that there is a wide spectrum of diversity, including variation within shared sequences and gain and loss of whole genes, and there is an unrecognized association between the possession of specific gene profiles associated with virulence and antibiotic resistance.

TL;DR: This work presents SRST2, a read mapping-based tool for fast and accurate detection of genes, alleles and multi-locus sequence types (MLST) from WGS data, which is highly accurate and outperforms assembly-based methods in terms of both gene detection and allele assignment.

TL;DR: The first isolation and sequencing of SARS‐CoV‐2 in Australia and rapid sharing of the isolate are described and the isolate is described for the first time.

TL;DR: This paper evaluated the extinction risk of the world's 590 freshwater crayfish species using the IUCN Categories and Criteria and found that 32% of all species are threatened with extinction, with proportionally more threatened species in the Parastacidae and Astacidae than in the Cambaridae.
