Researchers sequence genome of mysterious candidate phylum TM6 bacteria

Unknown authors

TL;DR

An approach for increasing throughput and effectively improving the likelihood of sampling rare events based on forming small random pools of single-flow–sorted cells, amplifying their DNA by multiple displacement amplification and sequencing all cells in the pool, creating a "mini-metagenome" is developed.

Short-read genome skimming enables molecular barcoding of old myxomycete collections

Abstract This study evaluates the effectiveness of Illumina-based genome skimming for barcoding myxomycete herbarium collections ranging from 29 to 91 years in age. We successfully retrieved partial sequences of the standard marker gene (nucSSU) in all cases, as well as additional markers (mtSSU, EF1a, and COI) for cer...
