Inter-species horizontal transfer resulting in core-genome and niche-adaptive variation within Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
, 2005 Background Horizontal gene transfer is central to evolution in most bacterial species. The detection of exchanged regions is often based upon analysis of compositional characteristics and their comparison to the organism as a whole.

Bacterial genome reductions: Tools, applications, and challenges
Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2022 Bacterial cells are widely used to produce value-added products due to their versatility, ease of manipulation, and the abundance of genome engineering tools. However, the efficiency of producing these desired biomolecules is often hindered by the cells’

Identification of DNA motifs implicated in maintenance of bacterial core genomes by predictive modeling [PDF]
, 2007 Bacterial biodiversity at the species level, in terms of gene acquisition or loss, is so immense that it raises the question of how essential chromosomal regions are spared from uncontrolled rearrangements.

Genomic Arrangement of Regulons in Bacterial Genomes
PLoS ONE, 2012 Regulons, as groups of transcriptionally co-regulated operons, are the basic units of cellular response systems in bacterial cells. While the concept has been long and widely used in bacterial studies since it was first proposed in 1964, very little is known about how its component operons are arranged in a bacterial genome.

Sequencing and analysis of bacterial genomes [PDF]
Current Biology, 1996 The complete sequences of two small bacterial genomes have recently become available, and those of several more species should follow within the next two years. Sequence comparisons show that the most bacterial proteins are highly conserved in evolution, allowing predictions to be made about the functions of most products of an uncharacterized genome ...

Failure of phylogeny inferred from multilocus sequence typing to represent bacterial phylogeny
Scientific Reports, 2017 Although multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is highly discriminatory and useful for outbreak investigations and epidemiological surveillance, it has always been controversial whether clustering and phylogeny inferred from the MLST gene loci can represent ...
