    We have produced draft whole-genome sequences for two bacterial strains reported to produce the bulgecins as well as NRPS-derived monobactam β-lactam antibiotics. We propose classification of ATCC 31363 as <i>Paraburkholderia acidophila.</i> We further reaffirm that ATCC 31433 (<i>Burkholderia ubonensis subsp. mesacidophila</i>) is a taxonomically distinct producer of bulgecins with notable gene regions shared with <i>Paraburkholderia acidophila.</i> We use RAST multiple-gene comparison and MASH distancing with published genomes to order the draft contigs and identify unique gene regions for characterization. Forty-eight natural-product gene clusters are presented from PATRIC (RASTtk) and antiSMASH annotations. We present evidence that the 10 genes that follow the sulfazecin and isosulfazecin pathways in both species are likely involved in bulgecin A biosynthesis

    MAF TBA genome alignment of reference assemblies from the An gambiae complex

    Whole genome alignment of the of the reference assemblies from the members of the Anopheles gambiae species complex (AGC). The reference assemblies are mostly derived from colonized anopheline mosquitoes. This multiple genome alignment, in MAF format, include the new reference assemblies from six genomes of the AGC, plus the assemblies of An. gambiae PEST, An. gambiae Pimperena S, An. coluzzii, and two outgroup Pyretophorus species (An. christyi and An epiroticus). MAF for each chromosome arm are provided. See the SOM, section S1 for a full description of the methodology
