Pangenome and Phylogenomic Analysis of the Pathogenic ActinobacteriumRhodococcus equi
16 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
We report a comparative study of 29 representative genomes of the animal pathogen Rhodococcus equi The analyses showed that R. equi is genetically homogeneous and clonal, with a large core genome accounting for ≈80% of an isolates' gene content. An open pangenome, even distribution of accessory genes among the isolates, and absence of significant core-genome recombination, indicated that gene gain/loss is a main...
