We characterized the first nuclear genome of the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) using next generation sequencing, de novo assembly and annotation methods, based on material collected from the Georgia Aquarium.

We report here the first complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) obtained by next-generation sequencing methods.

We developed a genome-based machine-learning approach for discrimination between vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) and vancomycin-susceptible S. aureus (VSSA) using whole-genome sequences.

Here we apply an SVM classifier to distinguishing Staphylococcus aureus sequencing projects from other pathogens, including closely related Staphylococci.

The first whole-genome sequences for five strains, two carried and three pathogenic, of the emerging pathogen Haemophilus haemolyticus
