Linear chromosomes in bacteria: no straight edge advantage?

The beginning of 2007 brought us the complete genome of the yeast Pichia stipitis, five archaeal and more than 25 completely sequenced bacterial genomes (Table 1). In addition, there were two genomics-related papers that deserve a special discussion. One of them (Fuchs et al., 2007) described an unfinished genome of the ubiquitous marine phototrophic bacterium Congregibacter litoralis, while the other (Cui et al., 2007) examined the properties of the Escherichia coli K-12 strains with a linear chromosome.
