Example sentences

One of the organisms with the simplest known genome is mycoplasma genitalium[3], with ~588 genes expressed over 580,070 base pairs.

When I mentioned that we had had relatively little success building such complex models he pointed me to the work modelling Mycoplasma genitalium [1].

Lest this seem like a nit-pickey detail, until they rewrite their software for mycoides, in broad strokes the model is essentially untestable, since we don't have broad-scale control over the genitalium genome like we do mycoides.

There is almost always an alternative to fluoroquinolones and next time I get mycoplasma genitalium I will fly to fucking Paris to get me some god damn pristinamycin.

So I worked in this lab (but on a different project): yeah some of the accounting is wierd and pr-ish, there are 530kb phytoplasmas (but they can't even make their own nucleotides) M.mycoides was used because it has a reasonable growing time (genitalium colonies appear in weeks)...

Further - I've suffered way worse harm relying on the medical system than the disease (mycoplasma genitalium infection) I had to arduously & painstakingly diagnose on my own (and even treatment was botched by my doctor, I had to insist that I be treated with the CDC recommendation as opposed to his outdated prescription).

Quote examples

By "smallest genome" they mean fewest base pairs (531,000 base pairs, compared to 580,000 in Mycoplasma genitalium).

From [1], "Mycoplasma genitalium: it has only about 480 genes in its genome of 580 070 nucleotide pairs." So in average, each gene is 1200 nucleotide pairs.

I assume that because Mycoplasma genitalium is a parasite, it's not considered "independent".

I worked with mycoplasma genitalium which is a "minimal" organism- an extremely small number of genes, nearly all of which appear to be absolutely required for viability.

Proper noun examples

Genitalium is not going to do anything for humans, but once that ball is rolling, we may want to keep pushing the envelope and aiming for bigger and bigger model organisms, until we get to Canis familiaris.
