TL;DR: The sequencing and analysis of the type strain B. cereus ATCC 14579 together with the gapped genome of B. anthracis A2012 enables the comparative analysis to clarify the phylogeny of the cereus group, and the latter to determine plasmid-independent species-specific markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A genetic footprinting technique is used for a genome-wide assessment of genes required for robust aerobic growth of Escherichia coli in rich media to identify 620 genes as essential and 3,126 genes as dispensable for growth under these conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Analysis of this first sequenced endosymbiont genome from a filarial nematode provides insight into endosYmbionT evolution and additionally provides new potential targets for elimination of cutaneous and lymphatic human filarial disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genome sequence of the facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella melitensis

TL;DR: The genome of B. melitensis strain 16M was sequenced and found to contain 3,294,935 bp distributed over two circular chromosomes encoding 3,197 ORFs, similar to other α-proteobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Sequence and Analysis of the Oral Bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum Strain ATCC 25586
