Genomic insights into the diversity of non-coding RNAs in Bacillus cereus sensu lato.

Bacillus cereus sensu lato is a group of bacteria of medical and agricultural importance in different ecological niches and with controversial taxonomic relationships. Studying the composition of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in several bacterial groups has been an important tool for identifying genetic information and better understanding genetic regulation towards environment adaptation. However, to date, no comparative genomics study of ncRNA has been performed in this group.

Transcriptional profiling analysis of susceptible and resistant strains of Anticarsia gemmatalis and their response to Bacillus thuringiensis.

Anticarsia gemmatalis is one of the main defoliators of soybean in Brazil. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenic crops are used for their management. In this paper we used RNA-seq to explore the response of A.

Complete Genome Sequence of Streptococcus iniae UEL-Si1, Isolated in Diseased Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from Northern Paraná, Southern Brazil.

The Streptococcus iniae UEL-Si1 strain was isolated from diseased Nile tilapia within the Paranapanema River Basin, Northern Paraná, Brazil. This is an emerging infectious disease agent of fish from Brazil, and sequencing of the complete genome is fundamental to understanding aspects relative to pathogenesis, infection, epidemiology, and immunity.
