Abstract excerpt
Comparative genomic analysis is a powerful tool for understanding the history and organization of complete genomes. The mathematical tools of population genetics combined with genomic analysis provide a powerful approach to dissect heterogeneities in genome evolution. This study presents a hierarchical analysis of the enterocyte and effacement island (35 kb), which is found in the enteropathogenic and...
