• A Unifying View of Genome Rearrangements (2006, background): “This general model accounts for the genomic evidence of the coexistence of both linear and circular chromosomes or plasmids in many genomes [2, 8].”
• Prophages and bacterial genomics: what have we learned so far? (2003, background): “Each of these plasmids carries a similar, very poorly expressed 22-gene-long putative operon, which at the time of sequencing contained only novel genes (Fraser et al., 1997; Casjens et al., 2000; Ojaimi et al., 2003).”
• Diagnosis of Lyme Borreliosis (2005, background): “burgdorferi also lacks genes coding for tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes or for compounds involved in electron transport, findings which, taken together with the preceding, indicate the parasitic nature of this microorganism (52, 98, 353).”
