To achieve this, PacBio sequencing of full-length bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons was carried out on 21 globally collected species in the B. tabaci complex, and two samples from B.

Article Synopsis
- Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is being used alongside CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create genetically modified plants without unwanted transgenes, but the specific genetic changes in these plants are not completely understood.
- Researchers sequenced the genomes of five transgenic rice plants to investigate genetic variations and found that three plants had extra plasmid DNA alongside the expected T-DNA insertions, showing complexity in the transformation process.
- Each transformed rice plant exhibited a significant number of genetic variations, including hundreds of single nucleotide changes and a few new insertions from a specific transposable element, indicating that the transformation can cause extensive genomic changes.
