HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: John P. McCutcheon et al. from the Center for Insect Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, United States of America, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona have published the article: Origin of an Alternative Genetic Code in the Extremely Small and GC-Rich Genome of a Bacterial Symbiont, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of July/17,/2009
  • what: Using a combination of genome sequencing and high-throughput proteomics the authors show that an a-Proteobacterial symbiont of cicadas has the unprecedented combination of an extremely small genome (144 kb) a GC-biased . . .
