BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :616
The important fish bacterial pathogen Aliivibrio salmonicida has a highly fragmented genome disrupted by many insertion sequence elements, and having lost function in several chitinase genes is restricted in the range of organisms it can infect.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :609
Gene duplication does contribute to the robustness of organisms against disruption of gene function but it appears to have a smaller effect than might be expected across a range of organisms, particularly in some eukaryotes.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :603
By combining 454 GSFLX and Solexa-Illumina technologies to sequence medically important microbes, quality is maintained while lowering the cost and time taken to sequence whole genomes.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :595
Comparison of three parasitic protozoan Entamoeba genomes identifies novel repetitive elements, with clusters of retrotransposons at synteny breakpoints, suggesting that transposable elements may have led to chromosome instability during speciation.
BMC Genomics 2008, 9 :582
Theileria parva, the apicomplexan parasite that causes East Coast fever in cattle, has a highly compact genome favoring short introns and intergenic regions with conserved upstream motifs that potentially regulate transcription.
