TL;DR: Comparative analyses show a fascinating picture of conservation and divergence, revealing large blocks of gene orthology with rodents, scattered regions with more recent gene family expansions and deletions, and segments of coding and non-coding conservation with the distant fish species Takifugu.

TL;DR: The genomes of five C. heterostrophus strains, two C. sativus strains and three additional C. species were sequenced at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) to identify SNPs between strains and species, unique genomic regions, core secondary metabolism genes, and small secreted protein (SSP) candidate effector encoding genes as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microbial communities adapt to switchgrass decomposition using simulated composting condition and that full-length genes can be identified from complex metagenomic sequence data, synthesized and expressed resulting in active enzyme.

TL;DR: The 78,884,754 base pairs of finished chromosome 16 sequence, representing over 99.9% of its euchromatin, revealed 880 protein-coding genes, including metallothionein, cadherin and iroquois gene families, as well as the disease genes for polycystic kidney disease and acute myelomonocytic leukaemia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the 78,884,754 base pairs of the human chromosome 16 sequence, representing over 99.9 percent of its euchromatin, were annotated with 880 protein coding genes.
