Abstract excerpt
Genome rearrangement events, including inversions and translocations, are frequently observed across related microbial species, but the impact of such events on functional diversity is unclear. To clarify this relationship, we compared 4 members of the Gram-negative Burkholderia family (Burkholderia pseudomallei, Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia thailandensis, and Burkholderia cenocepacia) and identified a core...
