Abstract excerpt
Recent work suggests that restriction-modification gene complexes are mobile genetic elements that insert themselves into the genome and cause various genome rearrangements. In the present work, the complete genome sequences of Pyrococcus horikoshii and Pyrococcus abyssi, two species in a genus of hyperthermophilic archaeon (archaebacterium), were compared to detect large genome polymorphisms linked with...
