Abstract excerpt
A number of cagPAI genes in the Helicobacter pylori genome are considered the most evolved genes under a diversifying selection and evolutionary pressure. Among them, cagI and cagN are described as a part of the two different-operon of cagPAI that are involved in the T4SS machinery, but the defin...
