Essentiality, conservation, evolutionary pressure and codon bias in bacterial genes [PDF]
Essential genes constitute the core of genes which cannot be mutated too much nor lost along the adaptive evolutionary history of a species. Natural selection is expected to be stricter on essential genes and on conserved (highly shared) genes, than on ...

Genetic affinities within a large global collection of pathogenic Leptospira: implications for strain identification and molecular epidemiology [PDF]
Leptospirosis is an important zoonosis with widespread human health implications. The non-availability of accurate identification methods for the individualization of different Leptospira for outbreak investigations poses bountiful problems in the ...

The evolution of YidC/Oxa/Alb3 family in the three domains of life: a phylogenomic analysis [PDF]
Background YidC/Oxa/Alb3 family includes a group of conserved translocases that are essential for protein insertion into inner membranes of bacteria and mitochondria, and thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

A fully assembled spirochaete genome was identified as a contaminating scaffold in our red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) genome assembly. In this paper, we describe the analysis of this bacterial genome. The assembled spirochaete genome is 3.25 Mb in size with 48.5 mol% G+C content.

The branching order and phylogenetic placement of species from completed bacterial genomes, based on conserved indels found in various proteins [PDF]
The presence of shared conserved inserts and deletions (indels or signature sequences) in proteins provides a powerfulmeans for understanding the evolutionary relationships among the Bacteria. Using such indels, all of the main groups within the Bacteria
