Desde los antepasados aborígenes, hasta la Gran Colombia, y los grandes personajes que en su momento coludieron a efectos de obtener el derecho a autogobernarse, liberando así la esquina norte de América del Sur de la dominación imperial española, e irradiando bríos libertarios en todo el continente.
Comparison of Brucella canis genomes isolated from different countries shows multiple variable regions

In this study, we report the sequencing, annotation and analysis of the genome of Brucella canis strain Oliveri isolated from a dog in a breeding kennel in Medellín, Colombia, South America. Whole genome shotgun sequencing was carried out using the ROCHE 454 GS FLX Titanium technology at the National Center for Genomic Sequencing-CNSG in Medellin, Colombia. The assembly procedure was performed using Newbler v2.6. In the genome annotation process, each contig was analyzed independently using as reference Brucella suis ATCC 1330 chromosomes. This new genome could be useful for the development of diagnostic tools and for vaccines search as well, in order to reduce the health impact of this infection in both, dogs and humans. The sequence was deposited in EMBL-EBI with accession numbers HG803175.1 and HG803176.1 for chromosomes 1 and 2, respectively.

Complete genome sequence of a novel potato virus S strain infecting Solanum phureja in Colombia

Symptoms of PVS infection may include leaf mottling, rugosity of leaves, deepening of the veins and reductions in crop yields between 10 and 20 %. Virions are flexuous rods of 610-710 nm with a positive-sense ssRNA genome of approximately 8500 nt comprising six ORFs, a 5'CAP and a 3'poly-A tail. PVS has been classified into two groups: PVS(O) (Ordinary) and PVS(A) (Andean). PVSA induces severe symptoms in infected plants, such as premature senescence and defoliation, and is more efficiently transmitted by aphids than PVS(O). To date, only five PVS genomes have been completely sequenced, including those of three PVS(O) and two PVS(A) strains. Currently, there are no reports of complete PVS genome sequences from Andean South America. In this work, we present the complete genomic sequence of a novel PVS strain infecting S. phureja that is clearly distinct from currently known PVS isolates.

Ya veremos cómo, de acuerdo a los rasgos principales de dicho Sistema, en el país no contamos con la madurez institucional, ni los ciudadanos con la cultura política necesaria para hacer de esta una empresa exitosa.
