Malaria genomes 'completed'

Survey of simple sequence repeats in completed fungal genomes.

The use of simple sequence repeats or microsatellites as genetic markers has become very popular because of their abundance and length variation between different individuals. SSRs are tandem repeat units of 1 to 6 base pairs that are found abundantly in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. This is the first study examining and comparing SSRs in completely sequenced fungal genomes. We analy...

Evolution and ecology, after the malaria genomes

The first of the three genomes responsible for malaria was published last year; with the recent and much hyped publication of parasite and vector genomes in Nature and Science respectively, the life-cycle triad is now complete. The genomes and associated papers demonstrate that evolutionary biologists and ecologists have much to contribute to malaria control – and to the unravelling of some ver...

GELBANK: a database of annotated two-dimensional gel electrophoresis patterns of biological systems with completed genomes

GELBANK is a publicly available database of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) gel patterns of proteomes from organisms with known genome information (available at http://gelbank.anl.gov and ftp://bioinformatics.anl.gov/gelbank/). Currently it includes 131 completed, mostly microbial proteomes available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information. A web interface allows the up...

Genome Information Broker (GIB): data retrieval and comparative analysis system for completed microbial genomes and more

Genome Information Broker (GIB) is a powerful tool for the study of comparative genomics. GIB allows users to retrieve and display partial and/or whole genome sequences together with the relevant biological annotation. GIB has accumulated all the completed microbial genome and has recently been expanded to include Arabidopsis thaliana genome data from DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank. In the near future, hund...
