The Second Chromosome Promotes the Adaptation of the Genus Flammeovirga to Complex Environments
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Approximately 10% of bacterial strains contain more than one chromosome; however, in contrast to the primary chromosomes, the mechanisms underlying the formation of the second chromosomes and the significance of their existence remain unclear. Species of

Codon usage domains over bacterial chromosomes. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2006 The geography of codon bias distributions over prokaryotic genomes and its impact upon chromosomal organization are analyzed. To this aim, we introduce a clustering method based on information theory, specifically designed to cluster genes according to ...

Why genes evolve faster on secondary chromosomes in bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 In bacterial genomes composed of more than one chromosome, one replicon is typically larger, harbors more essential genes than the others, and is considered primary.

The Role of Temperate Phages in Bacterial Pathogenicity
Microorganisms, 2023 Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea and are classified as virulent or temperate phages based on their life cycles. A temperate phage, also known as a lysogenic phage, integrates its genomes into host bacterial chromosomes as a ...

A Markovian analysis of bacterial genome sequence constraints [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 The arrangement of nucleotides within a bacterial chromosome is influenced by numerous factors. The degeneracy of the third codon within each reading frame allows some flexibility of nucleotide selection; however, the third nucleotide in the triplet of ...

The two Cis-acting sites, parS1 and oriC1, contribute to the longitudinal organisation of Vibrio cholerae chromosome I. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 The segregation of bacterial chromosomes follows a precise choreography of spatial organisation. It is initiated by the bipolar migration of the sister copies of the replication origin (ori).

Inter-chromosomal k-mer distances
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Inversion Symmetry is a generalization of the second Chargaff rule, stating that the count of a string of k nucleotides on a single chromosomal strand equals the count of its inverse (reverse-complement) k-mer.
