16s idea

 * Just read abstract about 16s variation within genomes and noticed that Haloarcula marismortu had one of the highest variations (~5.5%). see Diversity of 16S rRNA genes within individual prokaryotic genomes.

Genome Sizes

 * Corrected the genome size and number of contigs (and scaffolds) for the genome information table.
 * Would like to have a figure of read length density for all 8 genomes.
 * To get read length I thought I would have to use sff_extract script to change sff files into fasta files (using -c option to trim sequences). However, I found that the assembly folders on Rob's site has files called 254Trimstatus.txt that has the read length for each read.
