Genome sequences published outside of Standards in Genomic Sciences, October – November 2011

The State of Standards in Genomic Sciences

“…The rationale for this article is to provide the community with a regularly updated list of sequenced genomes for which companion articles have been published. We were able to identify 397 of these articles that were published in 18 journals [8][9][10][11]. Excluding the genome sequences of viruses and eukaryotes, the taxonomic coverage of those papers differed somewhat from those published in SIGS, presumably because of the design of the GE-BA project, which has focused on the genomes of taxonomic type strains available from public culture collections to maximize diversity.…”
