The genetic diversity of Q fever bacteria

An in-depth analysis of the genomes of the Q fever-causing bacterium Coxiella burnetii shows an evolutionary pattern based on the modification of existing genes, supporting a model of clonal expansion of established genotypes, with significant variation at protein level.

Nucleotide methylation in metazoa: a technical artifact?

Methylation levels of N6-adenine (6mA) and N4-cytosine (4mC) observed in metazoan samples may be due to bacterial contamination or incorporation of methylated nucleosides from exogenous DNA.

Resources for authors

Standards of reporting

BMC Genomics advocates complete and transparent reporting of research. The BMC minimum standards of reporting checklist is intended as a tool for authors to transparently describe their research and ensure reproducibility. We encourage our authors to adhere to these standards when preparing their manuscript.

Research Data Support for authors

Research Data Support is an optional Springer Nature service available to researchers who have datasets they want to make easier to cite, share and find. Learn more about this service and the many benefits of making your data publicly available.
