The parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for hundreds of millions of cases of malaria,
and kills more than one million African children annually. Here we report an analysis of …

We have applied “whole-genome shotgun sequencing” to microbial populations collected
en masse on tangential flow and impact filters from seawater samples collected from the …

The world's oceans contain a complex mixture of micro-organisms that are for the most part,
uncharacterized both genetically and biochemically. We report here a metagenomic study of …

Here we determine the complete genomic sequence of the Gram negative, γ-Proteobacterium
Vibrio cholerae El Tor N16961 to be 4,033,460 base pairs (bp). The genome consists of …

Plants depend upon beneficial interactions between roots and microbes for nutrient availability,
growth promotion, and disease suppression. High-throughput sequencing approaches …

Genome sequencing enhances our understanding of the biological world by providing
blueprints for the evolutionary and functional diversity that shapes the biosphere. However, …

The 1,860,725-base-pair genome of Thermotoga maritima MSB8 contains 1,877 predicted
coding regions, 1,014 (54%) of which have functional assignments and 863 (46%) of which …

The 2,160,837–base pair genome sequence of an isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a
Gram-positive pathogen that causes pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, and otitis media, …

The 2,272,351–base pair genome of Neisseria meningitidis strain MC58 (serogroup B), a
causative agent of meningitis and septicemia, contains 2158 predicted coding regions, 1158 (…

We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …
