GenomeFingerprinter and universal genome fingerprint analysis for systematic comparative genomics [PDF]
, 2013 How to compare whole genome sequences at large scale has not been achieved via conventional methods based on pair-wisely base-to-base comparison; nevertheless, no attention was paid to handle in-one-sitting a number of genomes crossing genetic category ...

MutS and MutL are dispensable for maintenance of the genomic mutation rate in the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: The genome of the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1 encodes for homologs of MutS and MutL, which are key proteins of a DNA mismatch repair pathway conserved in Bacteria and Eukarya.

Inference of expanded Lrp-like feast/famine transcription factor targets in a non-model organism using protein structure-based prediction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Widespread microbial genome sequencing presents an opportunity to understand the gene regulatory networks of non-model organisms. This requires knowledge of the binding sites for transcription factors whose DNA-binding properties are unknown or difficult
