Abstract excerpt
Recombination is one of the main mechanisms contributing to Helicobacter pylori genomic variability. homB and homA are paralogous genes coding for H. pylori outer membrane proteins (OMPs). Both genes display allelic variation yielded by polymorphisms of the genes' middle regions, with six differe...
