Genomic island identification in Vibrio vulnificus reveals significant genome plasticity in this human pathogen.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) - 15 Apr 2006

Quirke A M, Reen F Jerry, Claesson Marcus J, Boyd E Fidelma

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Genomic islands (GIs) are large chromosomal regions present in a subset of bacterial strains that increase the fitness of the organism under specific conditions. We compared the complete genome sequences of two Vibrio vulnificus strains YJ016 and CMCP6 and identified 14 regions (ranging in size from 14 to 117 kb), which had the characteristics of GIs. Bioinformatic analysis of these 14 GI regions...
