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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 [...]

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.

Genomics and Bacterial Pathogenesis [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000 Whole-genome sequencing is transforming the study of pathogenic bacteria. Searches for single virulence genes can now be performed on a genomewide scale by a variety of computer and genetic techniques. These techniques are discussed to provide a perspective on the developing field of genomics.

Bacterial genome mapper: A comparative bacterial genome mapping tool [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2012 Recently, next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have led to a revolutionary increase in sequencing speed and costefficacy. Consequently, a vast number of contigs from many recently sequenced bacterial genomes remain to be accurately mapped and annotated, requiring the development of more convenient bioinformatics programs.

Bacterial Nomenclature in the Era of Genomics [PDF]
New Microbes and New Infections, 2021 The remarkable success of taxonomic discovery, powered by culturomics, genomics and metagenomics, creates a pressing need for new bacterial names, while holding a mirror up to the slow pace of change in bacterial nomenclature. Here, I take a fresh look at bacterial nomenclature, exploring how we might create a system fit for the age of genomics ...

Genome-wide insights into population structure and host specificity of Campylobacter jejuni
Scientific Reports, 2021 The zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is among the leading causes of foodborne diseases worldwide. While C. jejuni colonises many wild animals and livestock, persistence mechanisms enabling the bacterium to adapt to host species' guts are not fully ...
