Using the pan-genomic framework for the discovery of genomic islands in the haloarchaeon Halorubrum ezzemoulense.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we use pan-genomics to characterize the genomic variability of the widely dispersed halophilic archaeal species Halorubrum ezzemoulense (Hez). We include a multi-regional sampling of newly sequenced, high-quality draft genomes. The pan-genome graph of the species reveals 50 genomic islands that represent rare accessory genetic capabilities available to members. Most notably, we observe...
