Article Synopsis
  • - Atypical chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is diagnosed based on shape and structure, but deviations from the usual immune profile indicate a need to look for atypical cases.
  • - In a study comparing atypical and typical CLL cases, atypical presentations showed distinct immune marker expressions, including higher CD20 and unmutated IgVH rates, and were associated with more advanced disease stages.
  • - While morphological features seem to provide better insights into patient prognosis, the effectiveness of using both morphology and immunophenotype in guiding treatment decisions remains uncertain and requires additional research.

Here, we report the whole-genome sequences and annotation of five oligotrophic bacteria from two sites within the Lechuguilla Cave in the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, NM. Three of the five genomes contain an acyl-homoserine lactone signal synthase ortholog (luxI) that is involved in cell-to-cell communication via quorum sensing.
