Xylella fastidiosa is a fastidious, xylem-limited bacterium that causes a range of economically
important plant diseases. Here we report the complete genome sequence of X. fastidiosa …

Leptospira species colonize a significant proportion of rodent populations worldwide and
produce life-threatening infections in accidental hosts, including humans. Complete genome …

Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-dwelling, insect-transmitted, gamma-proteobacterium that causes
diseases in many plants, including grapevine, citrus, periwinkle, almond, oleander, and …

To contribute to our understanding of the genome complexity of sugarcane, we undertook a
large-scale expressed sequence tag (EST) program. More than 260,000 cDNA clones were …

We report novel features of the genome sequence of Leptospira interrogans serovar
Copenhageni, a highly invasive spirochete. Leptospira species colonize a significant proportion of …

Background Sugarcane is the source of sugar in all tropical and subtropical countries and is
becoming increasingly important for bio-based fuels. However, its large (10 Gb), polyploid, …
