This month's Genome Watch looks at how whole genome sequencing (WGS) can be used to track the source ofPseudomonas aeruginosainfection and to investigate its transition and adaptation from the environment to a human host.
This month's Genome Watch compares and contrasts two studies that used a common genomic approach to understand different pathogenic forms ofEscherichia coli.
This month's Genome Watch explores the effect that recombination can have on the interpretation of outbreak investigations, and the far-reaching consequences for genomic diversity in bacterial species.
This month's Genome Watch highlights recent examples of the major contributions that genomics has made to new biological discoveries in malaria parasites.
This month's Genome Watch highlights the use of deep sequencing metagenomics to identify bacteriophages that carry sulphur-oxidizing genes in deep-sea hydrothermal vent plumes.
This month's Genome Watch discusses how whole-genome sequencing of bacterial pathogens complements existing techniques for analysing food-borne outbreaks.
This month's Genome Watch describes the discovery of a segmented RNA virus that provides an evolutionary link between segmented and unsegmented genomes.
This month's Genome Watch highlights a recent study that used high-throughput sequencing to identify the mRNAs that are actively translated during the life cycle of a protozoan parasite.
This month's Genome Watch highlights recent studies that used metagenomics and single-cell genomics to gain insights into previously uncultivated and poorly characterized microbial lineages.
