Statistical Analysis of Accessory Genome

2019
AcCNET (Accessory genome Constellation Network) is a Perl application to determine the variation of content in any genomic unit (e.g., bacterial genomes, plasmids, and transposons) within large datasets. It provides functional information that can be handled and visualized interactively as a bipartite network. In this chapter, we explain how to perform

Diversity in the composition of the accessory genome of Mexican Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains

Genes & Genomics, 2021
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen especially in nosocomial infections due to its easy adaptation to different environments; this characteristic is due to the great genetic diversity that presents its genome. In addition, it is considered a pathogen of critical priority due to the high antimicrobial resistance.The aim of this

Repeated, Selection-Driven Genome Reduction of Accessory Genes in Experimental Populations

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
Genome reduction has been observed in many bacterial lineages that have adapted to specialized environments. The extreme genome degradation seen for obligate pathogens and symbionts appears to be dominated by genetic drift. In contrast, for free-living organisms with reduced genomes, the dominant force is proposed to be direct selection for smaller ...

Decoding the Ecological Function of Accessory Genome

Trends in Microbiology, 2017
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 primarily resides in cattle asymptomatically, and can be transmitted to humans through food. A study by Lupolova et al. applied a machine-learning approach to complex pan-genome information and predicted that only a small subset of bovine isolates have the potential to cause diseases in humans.

Identification and characterization of accessory genomes in bacterial species based on genome comparison and metagenomic recruitment

2014 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM), 2014
Accessory genomes in bacterial species carry important genetic elements that are frequently related to antibiotic resistance, virulence factors, and the biotransformation of xenobiotics. Facilitated by the recent advances in sequencing technology, bacterial genomes and metagenomes are accumulating at an unprecedented pace, providing opportunities for ...

Heuristic Mining of Hierarchical Genotypes and Accessory Genome Loci in Bacterial Populations

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2021
Routine and systematic use of bacterial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is enhancing the accuracy and resolution of epidemiological investigations carried out by Public Health laboratories and regulatory agencies. Large volumes of publicly available WGS data can be used to study pathogenic populations at a large scale.

Metabolic Aspects of the Accessory Genome of Staphylococcus epidermidis

2022
Horizontal gene transfer plays an important role in changing the compositions of bacterial genomes over a short period of time. This process entails the transfer of genetic elements between different bacteria which is a key mechanism in bacterial diversity and evolution. In this study, I aimed to investigate the evolution of the S.
