TL;DR: All FSTs have been newly mapped using an optimized procedure that leads to improved accuracy of insertion site predictions, and many problematic FST-to-line links have been corrected using new wet-lab data.

TL;DR: Metabolic analyses of the genome sequence indicated that the "lipophilic" phenotype of C. jeikeium most likely originates from the absence of fatty acid synthase and thus represents a fatty acid auxotrophy, which largely reflects the strict dependence of growth on the presence of exogenous fatty acids.

TL;DR: The first mitochondrial DNA of a lycophyte, the quillwort Isoetes engelmannii, which is separated from seed plants by more than 350 million years of evolution is analysed, demonstrating disrupted, but functional, RNAs for yet another class of natural ribozymes.

TL;DR: The molecular data deduced from the complete genome sequences provides considerable knowledge of virulence factors in C. ulcerans that is apparently equipped with a broad and varying set of virulent factors, including a novel type of a ribosome-binding protein.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of C. urealyticum DSM7109 revealed a detailed picture of the lifestyle of this opportunistic human pathogen.
