Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli exhibit extensive genetic diversity at the genome level, particularly within their accessory genome. The tRNA integrated genomic islands (GIs), a part of the E. coli accessory genome, play an important role in pathogenicity. However, studies examining the evolution of GIs have been challenging due to their large size, considerable gene content variation and fragmented assembly in draft genomes....
