Assembling the perfect bacterial genome using Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2023
A perfect bacterial genome assembly is one where the assembled sequence is an exact match for the organism's genome-each replicon sequence is complete and contains no errors. While this has been difficult to achieve in the past, improvements in long-read

Extra-Chromosomal DNA Sequencing Reveals Episomal Prophages Capable of Impacting Virulence Factor Expression in Staphylococcus aureus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen with well-characterized bacteriophage contributions to its virulence potential. Recently, we identified plasmidial and episomal prophages in S.

One bacterial cell, one complete genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
While the bulk of the finished microbial genomes sequenced to date are derived from cultured bacterial and archaeal representatives, the vast majority of microorganisms elude current culturing attempts, severely limiting the ability to recover complete ...

Population gene introgression and high genome plasticity for the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae [PDF]

, 2019
The influence that bacterial adaptation (or niche partitioning) within species has on gene spillover and transmission among bacteria populations occupying different niches is not well understood.

B-assembler: a circular bacterial genome assembler

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Accurate bacteria genome de novo assembly is fundamental to understand the evolution and pathogenesis of new bacteria species. The advent and popularity of Third-Generation Sequencing (TGS) enables assembly of bacteria genomes at an ...

Reduced mutation rate and increased transformability of transposon-free Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1-ISx [PDF]

, 2017
The genomes of most bacteria contain mobile DNA elements that can contribute to undesirable genetic instability in engineered cells. In particular, transposable insertion sequence (IS) elements can rapidly inactivate genes that are important for a ...

The emergence and fate of horizontally acquired genes in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2008
Bacterial species, and even strains within species, can vary greatly in their gene contents and metabolic capabilities. We examine the evolution of this diversity by assessing the distribution and ancestry of each gene in 13 sequenced isolates of ...

Large-scale and significant expression from pseudogenes in Sodalis glossinidius – a facultative bacterial endosymbiont [PDF]

, 2020
The majority of bacterial genomes have high coding efficiencies, but there are some genomes of intracellular bacteria that have low gene density. The genome of the endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius contains almost 50 % pseudogenes containing mutations ...

Complex Class 1 Integron in a Clinical Escherichia coli Strain From Vietnam Carrying Both mcr-1 and blaNDM–1

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The co-production of MCR and carbapenemase in Enterobacteriaceae has been previously reported. Here, we describe a clinical strain of Escherichia coli from Vietnam carrying both mcr-1 and blaNDM–1.
