Introduction to a Survey of Genomes - Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58

b'Now we will tour through a survey of some sequenced genomes. All three domains of life will be represented, but the Bacteria and Archaea will get the lion\\u2019s share. For each genome, we will learn why scientists are interested in the organism, some basic data about the genome, its genes and encoded proteins, a few surprises from the genome sequence, and an example of how scientists took the next step past having the genome sequence. Our first sequence is my personal favorite, the soil bacterium and plant pathogen and biotechnology agent Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58.'
