The lack of consensus concerning the biological meaning of entropy and complexity of genomes and the different ways to assess these data hamper conclusions concerning what are the causes of genomic entropy variation among ...

Each day, as the amount of genomic data and bioinformatics resources grows, researchers are increasingly challenged with selecting the most appropriate approach to analyze their data. In addition, the opportunity to undertake ...

Little is known about genome organization in members of the order Batrachospermales, and the infra-ordinal relationship remains unresolved. Plastid (cp) genomes of seven members of the freshwater red algal order Batrachospermales ...

This review deals with a comparative analysis of seven genome sequences from plant-associated bacteria. These are the genomes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Mesorhizobium loti, Sinorhizobium meliloti, Xanthomonas campestris ...

Sporothrix schenckii is a thermodimorphic fungal pathogen with a high genetic diversity. In this work, we present the assembly and similarity analysis of the whole-genome sequences of two clinical isolates from Colombia ...

Background and Aims Genome size is a function, and the product, of cell volume. As such it is contingent on ecological circumstance. The nature of ‘this ecological circumstance’ is, however, hotly debated. Here, we ...

Genome size varies significantly across eukaryotic taxa and the largest changes are typically driven by macro-mutations such as whole genome duplications (WGDs) and proliferation of repetitive elements. These two processes ...
