DNA sequence of both chromosomes of the cholera pathogen Vibrio cholerae
Article Abstract:
Research into determining the genomic sequence of the two chromosomes of the cholera bacterium, Vibrio cholerae, is presented. The determination of the genomic sequence will serve as a stimulus for further research.

Sequence and analysis of chromosome 2 of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana
Article Abstract:
It has been possible to identify the sequence of chromosome 2 from the Columbia ecotype of Arabidopsis thaliana in two gap-free assemblies of 3.6 Mb and 16 Mb. The two assemblies terminate in blocks of 180-bp repeats, with the repeats representing the inner boundaries of the completed sequence. Within the genetically defined centromere, there is a stretch of 270 kb of sequence that is almost identical to that of the Arabidopsis mitochondrial gene. It cannot be established whether the observed sequence polymorphisms are the result of divergence of the insertion from the mitochondrial genome or of differences among ecotypes.
