The important fish bacterial pathogen Aliivibrio salmonicida has a highly fragmented genome disrupted by many insertion sequence elements, and having lost function in several chitinase genes is restricted in the range of organisms it can infect.
A new interface, SPRINT, allows statistical analyses written in the R programming language to be run on high performance computing systems without the need for specialist programming to exploit parallel processors.

Comparisons between the platypus and eutherian mammalian genomes provides new insights into how epigenetic imprinting may have evolved in mammalian genomes.
Glyptapanteles polydnavirus genome sequences Desjardins CA, Gundersen-Rindal DE, Hostetler JB, Tallon LJ, Fadrosh DW, Fuester RW, Pedroni MJ, Haas BJ, Schatz MC, Jones KM, et al. / 30 December 2008
Comparative genome analysis of two endosymbiotic polydnaviruses from Glyptapanteles parasitic wasps reveals new insights into the evolutionary arms race between host and parasite.
Hedgehog proteins, which are important in developmental signaling, have been joined by other newly discovered proteins from throughout the eukaryotes in the Hint-domain-containing group of proteins.
