We report the draft genome sequences of three enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) isolates that display the O157 serogroup but do not have the Shiga toxin genes (stx), which are characteristic of O157 enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). E. coli strain RN587/1 has the O157:H8 serotype and possesses the EAF plasmid characteristic of typical EPEC (J. B. Kaper, J. P. Nataro, and H. L. Mobley, Nat. Rev. Microbiol. 2:123-140, 2004). The other two isolates, strains C844-97 and C639-08, are both O157:H45 and possess the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island; however, they do not contain the EAF plasmid or the stx-carrying phage.

16S rRNA genes sequencing has been used for routine species identification and phylogenetic studies of bacteria. However, the high sequence similarity between some species and heterogeneity within copies at the intragenomic level could be a limiting factor of discriminatory ability. In this study, we aimed to compare 16S rRNA genes sequences and genome-based analysis (core SNPs and ANI) for identification of non-pathogenic .

Cotton is the world's most important natural fiber crop and serves as an ideal model for studying plant genome evolution, cell differentiation, elongation, and cell wall biosynthesis. The first draft of the cotton genome for Gossypium raimondii, completed in 2012, marked the beginning of global efforts in cotton genomics. Over the past decade, the cotton research community has continued to assemble and refine genomes for both wild and cultivated Gossypium species.

The incidence of gastroesophageal cancers is rising, driven, in part, by an increasing burden of risk factors of obesity and gastroesophageal reflux. Despite efforts to address these risk factors, and a growing interest in methods of population screening, the bulk of these tumours are unresectable at diagnosis. In this setting, effective systemic treatments are paramount to improve survival and quality of life.

Rosa laevigata is an excellent rose germplasm, highly resistant to aphid, and immune to both rose black spot and powdery mildew disease. It is also a well-known edible plant with a long history of medicinal use in China, having the effects of improving kidney function, inhibiting arteriosclerosis, and reducing inflammation. In this study, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-scale genome for R.
