Abstract:Introduction Members of the genus Bifidobacterium are Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, relatively high GC, fermentative rods, often Y shaped or clubbed at the ends. Bifidobacterium species represent a major element in the microflora of the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). They are considered to have a health-promoting role of their host, and there is mounting evidence pointing to the activity of these bacteria in mediating health attributes such as alleviation of lactose tolerance, stimulation/potentia tion of the immune system, and production of vitamins and antimicrobials [1]. Bifidobacterium species are also used in the production of fermented dairy products and are believed to play a pivotal role in maintaining a well-balanced intestinal flora in healthy humans[2]. In order to investigate the primary genetic structure of a probiotic Bifidobacterium, the B. breve strain NCIMB 8807 was selected and random sequences were generated to give a coverage of about five fold. These seque

Comment in: Mol Cell. 2005 Aug 19;19(4):433-5. The single-stranded genome of phage CTX is the form used for integration into the genome of Vibrio cholerae. Val ME, Bouvier M, Campos J, Sherratt D, Cornet F, Mazel D, Barre FX. Centre de G?n?tique Mol?culaire, CNRS UPR2167, Avenue de la Terrasse, 91198 Gif sur Yvette Cedex, France. A major determinant of Vibrio cholerae pathogenicity, the cholera enterotoxin, is encoded in the genome of an integrated phage, CTXvarphi. CTXvarphi integration depends on two host-encoded tyrosine recombinases,...

Abstract The large size of the maize genome and the expectation that most of the genome is represented by repetitive elements is a challenge to standard genome sequencing techniques. Genome-filtration sequencing techniques may target gene-rich regions in the genome. Two such approaches, methylation filtration and high Cot selection, may provide rapid and cost-effective alternative to sequencing the maize genome. Approximately 450k sequence reads have been obtained from both methylation filtration (MF) and high Cot (HC) libraries, and these seq...
A physicochemical property, stickiness, had been introduced by Nishigaki and Sakuma [1] to characterize the behavior of a molecule in a particular environment. As a convenient derivative of stickiness, oligostickiness was devised, which is closely related to the affinity of an oligonucleotide to a relevant DNA. In this paper we report that oligostickiness-maps, which can be generated by drawing a bar of

The challenge of documenting mutation across the genome: the human genome variation society approach. Horaitis O, Cotton RG. Genomic Disorders Research Centre, Melbourne, Australia. New methods for the detection of mutations and the completion of the human genome sequencing project have contributed to an exponential rise in variation information that must be collected, quality controlled, documented, and stored safely to ensure future availability to health care professionals, researchers, and others. There may be anywhere from one to more t...
Today, increasing genome sequence data of organisms lead DNA database size two or three times bigger annually. Thus, it becomes very hard to download and maintain such data in a personal local system. Algorithms for compressing DNA sequences, such as GenCompress [1], Biocompress [2] and fact [5], are available as tools to manage such works. Although these algorisms use characteristics of
Abstract Genomes like Glycine max (soybean) that have been highly conserved following increases in ploidy (by duplication or hybridization) present challenges for bioinformatics and genome analysis. At http://soybeangenome.siu.edu the Soybean Genome Database (SoyGD) genome browser has, since 2002, integrated and served the publicly available soybean physical map, BAC fingerprint database and genetic map associated genomic data (1). Duplicated regions have been identified and catalogued with a-d suffix to marker anchor names and contig names th...
Summary: ParIS Genome Rearrangement is a web server for a Bayesian analysis of unichromosomal genome pairs. The underlying model allows inversions, transpositions and inverted transpositions. The server generates a Markov chain using a Partial Importance Sampler technique, and samples trajectories of mutations from this chain. The user can specify several marginalizations to the posterior: the posterior distribution of number of mutations needed to transform one genome into another, length distribution of mutations, number of mutations that hav...
