Discovering genomic islands in unannotated bacterial genomes using sequence embedding
2022-08-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Motivation</h4> Genomic islands (GEIs) are clusters of genes in bacterial genomes that are typically acquired by horizontal gene transfer. Genomic islands play a crucial role in the evolution of bacteria by helping them adapt quickly to changing environments. Specifically of interest to human health, many GEIs contain pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance genes. Detecting GEIs is therefore an important p...
