Is There an Upper Limit to Genome Size? [PDF]
At 50-fold the size of the human genome (3 Gb), the staggeringly huge genome of 147.3 Gb recently discovered in the fern Tmesipteris obliqua is comparable in size to those of the other plant and animal record-holders (i.e., Paris japonica, a flowering plant with a genome size of 148.8 Gb, and Protopterus aethiopicus, a lungfish with a genome of 130 Gb).

Distribution and variability of the Balkan endemic Geum bulgaricum (Rosaceae) - a species of European concern [PDF]
As a European endemic restricted to a few European countries, Geum bulgaricum is here treated as a “target species” or “species of European concern”. Although of great international significance, its distribution is insufficiently known.

Eukaryotic genome size databases [PDF]
Three independent databases of eukaryotic genome size information have been launched or re-released in updated form since 2005: the Plant DNA C-values Database (www.kew.org/genomesize/homepage. html), the Animal Genome Size Database (www. genomesize.com) and the Fungal Genome Size Database (www.zbi.ee/fungal-genomesize/).

The Evolutionary Patterns of Genome Size in Ensifera (Insecta: Orthoptera)
Genomic size variation has long been a focus for biologists. However, due to the lack of genome size data, the mechanisms behind this variation and the biological significance of insect genome size are rarely studied systematically. The detailed taxonomy

Draft Genome Sequence of the Salt Water Bacterium Oceanospirillum linum ATCC 11336T [PDF]
Oceanospirillum linum ATCC 11336T is an aerobic, bipolar-tufted gammaproteobacterium first isolated in the Long Island Sound in the 1950s. This announcement offers a genome sequence for O. linum ATCC 11336T, which has a predicted genome size of 3,782,189

Genome Size and Species Diversification [PDF]
Theoretically, there are reasons to believe that large genome size should favour speciation. Several major factors contributing to genome size, such as duplications and transposable element activity have been proposed to facilitate the formation of new species. However, it is also possible that small genome size promotes speciation.

The laws of natural selection dictate that bacteria will eventually develop resistance to practically any antibiotic. Selective pressure exerted by widespread antimicrobial use is a driving force in the development of antibiotic resistance. —Stuart Levy The quotation above (http://www.tufts.edu/med/apua/Practitioners/ABRcontrol.html) has led to ...

Common Repeat Elements in the Mitochondrial and Plastid Genomes of Green Algae
Despite both originating from endosymbiotic bacteria, one does not typically expect mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to show strong sequence identity to plastid DNA (ptDNA). Nevertheless, a recent analysis of Haematococcus lacustris revealed exactly that.
