The pathogenic bacterium Bacillus anthracis has become the subject of intense study as a result of its use in a bioterrorism attack in the United States in September and October 2001. Previous studies suggested that B. anthracis Ames Ancestor, the original Ames fully virulent plasmid-containing isolate, was the ideal reference. This study describes the complete genome sequence of that original ...

H uman beings are quintessentially explorers and builders. From the earliest times, we have wanted to know what is out there and have built machines to take us there, or to be our guides and ambassadors. NASA has been on the forefront of this quest for decades, sending us to the moon and promising a manned mission to Mars. But many at NASA have come to realize that simple human biology will lik...

Statistical features of a base-specific Salmonella mutagenicity assay are considered in detail, following up on a previous Ž . report comparing responses of base-specific Salmonella Ames IIe strains with those of traditional tester strains. In addition to using different Salmonella strains, the new procedure also differs in that it is performed as a microwell fluctuation test, as opposed to the...
