We developed a prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline, DFAST, that also supports
genome submission to public sequence databases. DFAST was originally started as an on …

Quality assurance and correct taxonomic affiliation of data submitted to public sequence
databases have been an everlasting problem. The DDBJ Fast Annotation and Submission …

To date 142 species have been described in the Vibrionaceae family of bacteria, classified
into seven genera; Aliivibrio, Echinimonas, Enterovibrio, Grimontia, Photobacterium …

The genus Nocardia are gram-positive bacteria, many of which possess pathogenicity and
infect human lungs, skin, brain, and other organs. Since research on the genus Nocardia …

Bacterial symbionts that undergo long-term maternal transmission experience elevated
fixation of deleterious mutations, resulting in massive loss of genes and changes in gene …

Serpentinization, or the aqueous alteration of ultramafic rocks, results in challenging
environments for life in continental sites due to the combination of extremely high pH, low …

Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) causes diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis with life-
threatening complications, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome. Their major virulence factor …

Colistin is indicated for the treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial
infections. However, the spread of colistin-resistant bacteria harbouring an mcr gene has …

Streptococcus suis strains are classified into 35 serotypes on the basis of the antigenicity of
their capsular polysaccharides (CPs). CP synthesis genes are known to be clustered on the …

Abstract Water from The Cedars springs that discharge from serpentinized ultramafic rocks
feature highly basic (pH=~ 12), highly reducing (E h<− 550 mV) conditions with low ionic …
