Closing the genome of Teredinibacter turnerae T7902 by long-read nanopore sequencing

The paper closes the genome of Teredinibacter turnerae T7902 using long-read nanopore sequencing, providing a complete circular genome sequence for comparative genomics and host-symbiont evolution studies.

Membrane vesicles can contribute to cellulose degradation by Teredinibacter turnerae, a cultivable intracellular endosymbiont of shipworms

This study shows that Teredinibacter turnerae produces membrane vesicles containing cellulolytic enzymes, which may aid in lignocellulose degradation and host-symbiont interactions.

Complete genome sequences of two new strains of the shipworm endosymbiont, Teredinibacter turnerae

The paper presents the complete genome sequences of two new strains of Teredinibacter turnerae, isolated from shipworms, to aid in comparative genomics and host-symbiont interactions.

Common Analysis of Direct RNA SequencinG CUrrently Leads to Misidentification of 5-Methylcytosine Modifications at GCU Motifs

The paper identifies a false positive in m5C detection by Tombo in GCU motifs across diverse RNA samples, suggesting published findings should be re-evaluated.

Comparison of long read sequencing technologies in resolving bacteria and fly genomes

This study compares PacBio and Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing technologies for bacterial and fly genome assembly and methylation detection, finding no single technology outperforms others across all metrics.
