Spiroplasma litorale TN-1(T) (DSM 21781) was isolated from the gut of a green-eyed horsefly (Tabanus nigrovittatus), collected at Ocracoke Island in North Carolina in 1983. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium to facilitate the investigation of its biology.

Our experience with data compression so far has been of the following type: We are given the statistical description of an information source, we then try to design a system which will represent the data produced by this source efficiently. In this note we depart from this model, and consider a method which will represent a sequence efficiently without knowing by which means the sequence was pr...

Patients with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) may vary in symptoms of their depressed winter mood state, as we showed previously for nondepressed (manic, hypomanic, hyperthymic, euthymic) springtime states [Goel et al., 1999]. Identification of such differences during depression may be useful in predicting differences in treatment efficacy or analyzing the pathogenesis of the disorder. In a c...
