Biocomputational prediction of non-coding RNAs in model cyanobacteria

Björn Voß, Jens Georg, Verena Schön, Susanne Ude, Wolfgang R Hess BMC Genomics 2009, 10:123 (23 March 2009)

New conserved non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) in four species of cyanobacteria have been validated, opening the way for a less stringent comparative analysis with experimental support to discover even more previously unidentified elements.

Highly plastic genome of Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806, a ubiquitous toxic freshwater cyanobacterium

Lionel Frangeul, Philippe Quillardet, Anne-Marie Castets, Jean-François Humbert, Hans CP Matthijs, Diego Cortez, Andrew Tolonen, Cheng-Cai Zhang, Simonetta Gribaldo, Jan-Christoph Kehr, Yvonne Zilliges, Nadine Ziemert, Sven Becker, Emmanuel Talla, Amel Latifi, Alain Billault, Anthony Lepelletier, Elke Dittmann, Christiane Bouchier, Nicole Tandeau de Marsac BMC Genomics 2008, 9:274 (5 June 2008)

The cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa can produce toxic blooms and lives in a wide range of freshwater ecosystems, which is reflected in a highly plastic genome that includes many transposases and potentially novel restriction enzymes.
