ABSTRACT With the emergen e of the Internet and proliferation of new te hnologies, the design and programming of omplex appliations need to take into a ount standards and notions of ode distribution, deployment and reuse. There is a need to hange the programming methodologies to take into a ount these di erent fa ets. This paper lays the foundations for a new way of programming based on generat...

Botrytized wines are produced from grape berries infected by Botrytis cinerea under specific environmental conditions. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. cinerea BcDW1, a strain isolated from Sémillon grapes in Napa Valley in 1992 that is used with the intent to induce noble rot for botrytized wine production.

The draft genome sequence of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type 39 (ST 39) isolate obtained from the dried ribbonfish of Gujarat, India, is reported here. Staphylococcus-specific genes were present in this MRSA isolate. The whole-genome sequence of this strain contains 2,693 protein-coding genes and 70 RNAs within the 2.82-Mb genome.

We report a draft genome sequence of Dickeya zeae strain MS1, which is the causative agent of banana soft rot in China, and we show several of its specific properties compared with those of other D. zeae strains. Genome sequencing provides a tool for understanding the genomic determination of the pathogenicity and phylogeny placement of this pathogen.

Corynebacterium amycolatum ICIS 9 was isolated from a vaginal smear of a healthy woman. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of C. amycolatum ICIS 9, which will be useful for further studies of specific genetic features of this strain and for understanding its probiotic properties.

MQ—DRBG is a pseudorandom number bit generator proposed for international standardization by the French national organization for Standardization (AFNOR). It makes use of a specific instantiation of a one-way function S : F2 → F 2 based on quadratic multivariate polynomials. We describe two methods for constructing function S, satisfying requirements of the proposed draft, but having less secur...

Draft genome sequences of three P. aeruginosa strains from the PA7 clade are presented here. Their lengths are 6.36 (EML528), 6.44 (EML545), and 6.33 Mb (EML548). Comparisons with the PA7 genome showed 5,113 conserved coding sequences (CDSs), and significant numbers of strain-specific CDSs. Their analysis will improve our understanding of this highly divergent clade.

Neisseria meningitidis is a human-specific pathogen known for its capability to cause sepsis and meningitis. Here we report the availability of 2 draft genome sequences obtained from patients infected during the same epidemic outbreak. Both bacterial isolates belong to serogroup C, but their genome sequences show local and remarkable differences compared with each other or with the reference ge...

The assembly and annotation of the draft genome sequences for Pseudoalteromonas strains ATCC BAA314, ATCC 700518, and ATCC 700519 reveal candidates for promoting symbiosis between Pseudoalteromonas strains and eukaryotes. Groups of genes generally associated with virulence are present in all three strains, suggesting that these bacteria may be pathogenic under specific circumstances.
