Abstract excerpt
The evolution of microbial genomes is greatly influenced by horizontal gene transfer (HGT), where large blocks of horizontally acquired foreign sequences, often encoding virulence determinants, occur in chromosomes of pathogenic bacteria. A program design-island developed in our laboratory was used on three completely sequenced Vibrio cholerae genomes, V. cholerae Classical O395, El Tor N16961 and MJ1236, in...
