PROBEAT: PRObiotic Bacterial gEnome Analysis Toolkit [PDF]
Whole-genome sequencing has become a central approach for investigating candidate probiotic bacterial isolates, but probiogenomic analysis often requires multiple independent tools, manual marker-gene searches and study-specific interpretation of ...

Systematic determination of the mosaic structure of bacterial genomes: species backbone versus strain-specific loops [PDF]
Background Public databases now contain multitude of complete bacterial genomes, including several genomes of the same species. The available data offers new opportunities to address questions about bacterial genome evolution, a task that requires ...

The Evolution of Bacterial Genome Architecture [PDF]
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 ...

Genome signatures, self-organizing maps and higher order phylogenies: a parametric analysis [PDF]
Genome signatures are data vectors derived from the compositional statistics of DNA. The self-organizing map (SOM) is a neural network method for the conceptualisation of relationships within complex data, such as genome signatures.

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 ...

Bacillus subtilis produces a wide range of secondary metabolites providing diverse plant growth-promoting and biocontrol abilities. These secondary metabolites include nonribosomal peptides with strong antimicrobial properties, causing either cell lysis,

Bacterial Genome Instability [PDF]
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 ...

Background Bacterial epidemiology needs to understand the spread and dissemination of strains in a One Health context. This is important for highly pathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus anthracis, Brucella species, and Francisella tularensis. Whole genome

The layout of a bacterial genome [PDF]
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.

Bacterial Genomics and Epidemiology
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 [...]
