TLDR
Phylogenetic analyses provided evidence of horizontal transfer for PMU-like elements from various phytoplasmas, including distantly related ones, and the availability of this high-quality draft genome provided a foundation for genome-scale genotypic analysis and molecular phylogenetic analysis.About:

TL;DR: This comparative analysis revealed that the repeated DNAs are organized into large clusters of potential mobile units, which contain tra5 insertion sequences (ISs) and genes for specialized sigma factors and membrane proteins, so far, these PMUs appear to be unique to phytoplasmas.

Genomic characterization of the periwinkle leaf yellowing (PLY) phytoplasmas in Taiwan
TL;DR: This work provided a first look into population genomics of the PLY phytoplasma in Taiwan, as well as identified several evolutionary processes that contributed to the genetic diversification of these plant-pathogenic bacteria.

TL;DR: The apparent lack of CRISPR/Cas systems in several groups of species including main pathogens of humans, ruminants, and plants suggests different evolutionary routes or a lower risk of phage infection in specific ecological niches.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform
Heng Li,Richard Durbin +1 more
TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput
TL;DR: MUSCLE is a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences that includes fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function the authors call the log-expectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning.

A simple, fast, and accurate algorithm to estimate large phylogenies by maximum likelihood.
Stéphane Guindon,Olivier Gascuel +1 more
TL;DR: This work has used extensive and realistic computer simulations to show that the topological accuracy of this new method is at least as high as that of the existing maximum-likelihood programs and much higher than the performance of distance-based and parsimony approaches.
