Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a Gram-Positive Bacterium, Leifsonia sp. Strain PS1209, a Potato EndophyteWe report the complete and annotated genome sequence of a Gram-positive bacterium, Leifsonia sp. strain PS1209, a potato endophyte that was isolated from apparently healthy tubers of potato cultivar NY166. The circular genome is 4,091,164 bp long, with a GC content of 69.08%, containing 3,926 genes.
Genome SequencesDiabrotica undecimpunctata virus 2, a Novel Small RNA Virus Discovered from Southern Corn Rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)The genome of Diabrotica undecimpunctata virus 2 (DuV2), a putative positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus identified from the southern corn rootworm transcriptome, comprises 5,313 nucleotides, including a short poly(A) tail. The two open reading frames encode a nonstructural polyprotein (p156) and a putative capsid protein (p25).
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a Small RNA Virus of the Southern Corn Rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)The genome sequence of a novel small RNA virus, tentatively named Diabrotica undecimpunctata virus 1 (DuV1), was discovered from the transcriptome of the southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber. DuV1 has a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome that encodes a single polyprotein of 3,401 amino acids with limited...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Bacteroides fragilis Strain Isolated from Peritoneal Fluid of a Patient from KazakhstanHere, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacteroides fragilis strain KZ02, isolated from a patient with peritonitis hospitalized in a health facility in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. The genome of the strain contains 4,103 protein-coding genes, including the cepA gene, which causes resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates Subjected to 200 Continuous PassagesWe report 6 draft genome sequences corresponding to Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and M. tuberculosis DR689, a Beijing isolate, plus their counterparts subjected to 200 continuous passages in Middlebrook 7H9 broth, either alone or with ox bile.

Strain MER_111, Isolated from Cleanrooms Where the Viking and Mars Exploration Rover Spacecraft Were AssembledWe report the draft genome sequences of Bacillus glennii V44-8, Bacillus saganii V47-23a, and Bacillus sp. strain V59.32b, isolated from the Viking spacecraft assembly cleanroom, and Bacillus sp. strain MER_TA_151 and Paenibacillus sp. strain MER_111, isolated from the...
Genome SequencesGenomic Sequence of the New Attenuated Vaccine Strain Neethling-RIBSP of the Lumpy Skin Disease VirusWe report here the draft genome sequence of the new attenuated strain Neethling-RIBSP of the lumpy skin disease virus, obtained by sequential and alternating passages in cell culture and developing chicken embryos. Genome sequencing allowed the identification of differentiation markers of the new strain.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Five Carnobacterium sp. Strains Isolated from Freshwater Ponds in BelgiumStrains belonging to the genus Carnobacterium are Gram-positive bacteria that are widely distributed in the environment. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of five Carnobacterium strains isolated from freshwater ponds located in Flanders, Belgium, and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform.
Genome SequencesMethylome and Complete Genome Sequence of Parageobacillus toebii DSM 14590T, a Thermophilic BacteriumHere, we present the first complete genome assembly of the thermophilic bacterium Parageobacillus toebii DSM 14590T. The P. toebii DSM 14590T genome consists of a 3,270,071-bp circular chromosome and a 52,989-bp native plasmid.
Databases and SoftwareCOnTORT: COmprehensive Transcriptomic ORganizational Tool for Simultaneously Retrieving and Organizing Numerous Gene Expression Data Sets from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus DatabaseWe introduce COnTORT (COmprehensive Transcriptomic ORganizational Tool), a publicly available program that retrieves all available gene expression data and associated metadata for an organism from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The data are compiled into text files that can be used for downstream...
