Unraveling the genomic mosaic of a ubiquitous genus of marine cyanobacteria

Alexis Dufresne, Martin Ostrowski, David J Scanlan, Laurence Garczarek, Sophie Mazard, Brian P Palenik, Ian T Paulsen, Nicole de Marsac, Patrick Wincker, Carole Dossat, Steve Ferriera, Justin Johnson, Anton F Post, Wolfgang R Hess, Frédéric Partensky Genome Biology 2008, 9:R90 (28 May 2008)

Local niche occupancy of marine Synechococcus lineages is facilitated by lateral gene transfers. Genomic islands act as repositories for these transferred genes.

Identification of cyanobacterial non-coding RNAs by comparative genome analysis

Ilka M Axmann, Philip Kensche, Jörg Vogel, Stefan Kohl, Hanspeter Herzel, Wolfgang R Hess Genome Biology 2005, 6:R73 (17 August 2005)

The first genome-wide and systematic screen for non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in cyanobacteria. Several ncRNAs were computationally predicted and their presence was biochemically verified. These ncRNAs may have regulatory functions, and each shows a distinct phylogenetic distribution.
