Eyeing bacterial genomes

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003
The density of information in a bacterial genome allows its history, organization and encoded functions to be distilled into a single graphical representation. These features have made it possible to discern the forces acting in and on bacterial genomes at levels not attainable in eukaryotes.

Comparative genomics: the bacterial pan-genome

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2008
Bacterial genome sequencing has become so easy and accessible that the genomes of multiple strains of more and more individual species have been and will be generated. These data sets provide for in depth analysis of intra-species diversity from various aspects.

Evolution of bacterial genomes

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1997
This review examines evolution of bacterial genomes with an emphasis on RNA based life, the transition to functional DNA and small evolving genomes (possible plasmids) that led to larger, functional bacterial genomes.

Bacterial Genome Reengineering

2011
The web application PrimerPair at ecogene.org generates large sets of paired DNA sequences surrounding- all protein and RNA genes of Escherichia coli K-12. Many DNA fragments, which these primers amplify, can be used to implement a genome reengineering strategy using complementary in vitro cloning and in vivo recombineering. The integration of a primer

Bacterial Genome Annotation

2012
Annotation of prokaryotic sequences can be separated into structural and functional annotation. Structural annotation is dependent on algorithmic interrogation of experimental evidence to discover the physical characteristics of a gene. This is done in an effort to construct accurate gene models, so understanding function or evolution of genes among ...

Fold Predictions for Bacterial Genomes

Journal of Structural Biology, 2001
Fold assignments for newly sequenced genomes belong to the most important and interesting applications of the booming field of protein structure prediction. We present a brief survey and a discussion of such assignments completed to date, using as an example several fold assignment projects for proteins from the Escherichia coli genome.

Preparing Bacterial Genomic DNA

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2022
We describe two alternative procedures for purifying bacterial chromosomal DNA. The first procedure incorporates the use of a commercial kit based on silica membrane technology. This approach relies on the selective binding of DNA to a silica-based column in the presence of chaotropic salts (guanidine salts).

The Organization of the Bacterial Genome

Annual Review of Genetics, 2008
Many bacterial cellular processes interact intimately with the chromosome. Such interplay is the major driving force of genome structure or organization. Interactions take place at different scales—local for gene expression, global for replication—and lead to the differentiation of the chromosome into organizational units such as operons, replichores ...

Comparative Genomics of Small RNAs in Bacterial Genomes

OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology, 2007
In recent years, various families of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) have been discovered by experimental and computational approaches, both in bacterial and eukaryotic genomes. Although most of them await elucidation of their function, it has been reported that some play important roles in gene regulation.

Retrons, msDNA, and the bacterial genome

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2005
Retrons are distinct DNA sequences that code for a reverse transcriptase (RT) similar to the RTs produced by retroviruses and other types of retroelements. Retron DNAs are commonly associated with prophage DNA and are found in the genomes of a wide variety of different bacteria. The retron RT is used to synthesize a strange satellite DNA known as msDNA.
