The Evolution of Bacterial Genome Architecture [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2017 The genome architecture of bacteria and eukaryotes evolves in opposite directions when subject to genetic drift, a difference that can be ascribed to the fact that bacteria exhibit a mutational bias that deletes superfluous sequences, whereas eukaryotes ...

Bacterial Genomics and Epidemiology
Microorganisms, 2023 Innovative technologies for Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) help to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of bacterial infectious diseases and are becoming affordable for most microbiological laboratories [...]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1994 During the last decade, great advances have been made in the study of bacterial genomes which is perhaps better described by the term bacterial genomics. The application of powerful techniques, such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of macro-restriction fragments of genomic DNA, has freed the characterisation of the chromosomes of many bacteria from ...

The layout of a bacterial genome [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2012 Recently the mismatch between our newly acquired capacity to synthetize DNA at genome scale, and our low capacity to design ab initio a functional genome has become conspicuous. This essay gathers a variety of constraints that globally shape natural genomes, with a focus on eubacteria.

Conspiracy in bacterial genomes [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2006 The rank ordered distribution of the codon usage frequencies for 123 bacteriae is best fitted by a three parameters function that is the sum of a constant, an exponential and a linear term in the rank n. The parameters depend (two parabolically) from the total GC content.

Insights in bacterial genome folding [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2023 Chromosomes in all domains of life are well-defined structural entities with complex hierarchical organization. The regulation of this hierarchical organization and its functional interplay with gene expression or other chromosome metabolic processes such as repair, replication, or segregation is actively investigated in a variety of species, including

Bacterial Genome Instability [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2014 SUMMARY Bacterial genomes are remarkably stable from one generation to the next but are plastic on an evolutionary time scale, substantially shaped by horizontal gene transfer, genome rearrangement, and the activities of mobile DNA elements. This implies the existence of a delicate balance between the maintenance of genome stability and the ...
