Whole-genome sequencing of the Streptomyces coelicolor bldA39 mutant (J1700) of reveals hundreds of previously unknown mutations.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report the genome sequence of the bldA39 (J1700) mutant Streptomyces coelicolor, a historically important strain that is deficient in sporulation and antimicrobial production. The S. coelicolor J1700 strain was used extensively from the 1980s onwards to underpin important discoveries in development and antibiotic production in Streptomyces. The bldA gene encodes a leucyl transfer RNA (tRNA), required for the translation of the rare TTA codon found in ~2% of genes in Streptomyces. The whole genome of S. coelicolor J1700 was obtained via Illumina sequencing and mapped to the of S. coelicolor M145 reference genome. Analysis of the genome sequence compared to S. coelicolor M145 identified the known bldA39 mutation (T>C) and revealed more than 300 further mutations, likely associated with the S. coelicolor J1501 genetic background the strain was created in, including the nature of the hisA1 and uraA1 alleles used extensively in genetic mapping experiments and several mutations in natural product biosynthetic gene clusters. This work highlights the importance of whole genome sequencing of historically important strains.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
