“Plant Microbe Shares Features with Drug-Resistant Pathogen”

The scientists were particularly interested in comparing two strains of S. maltophilia whose genomes were recently decoded to see why these strains — one isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from a clinical setting (strain K279a), and the other from the roots of poplar trees (strain R551-3) — were so well-suited to their very different environments….

“Unleash your inner geek without spending a cent”

  Think technology and it’s not hard to see dollar signs. But California and the West have many free and geeky places worth visiting; you just have to know where to look…. In 2003, the Human Genome Project announced the sequencing of the complete human genome. The sequence of 3 billion A’s, T’s, C’s and… [Read More]

“JGI Updates Microbial Genomes Resource”

The US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute has released an updated microbial genomics resource for researchers that now includes reference genomes and metagenomic data, JGI said Tuesday. The Integrated Microbial Genomes system with Microbiomes (IMG/M) 2.8 contains tools for analysis of microbial communities based on their metagenome sequence, within the context of reference isolate… [Read More]
