- Title
The dawn of synthetic genomics.
- Authors
Galperin, Michael Y.
- Abstract
The article discusses issues related to microbial genome sequencing. Scientists have sequenced the genome of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease in salmonid fish. The actinobacterium grows optimally and can survive for several days in fresh or sea water. The genome data is expected to help identify the virulence factors and vaccine candidates of R. salmoninarum. Other forms of bacteria, their taxonomy or classification and their genomic sequences are also presented.
