Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of protein secretion systems in bacterial genomes

TL;DR: Online and standalone computational tools to accurately predict protein secretion systems and related appendages in bacteria with LPS-containing outer membranes are built and can be fully customized, which should facilitate the identification of novel systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and analysis of integrons and cassette arrays in bacterial genomes

TL;DR: A program is made to identify integrons with high accuracy and sensitivity and might represent an evolutionary step between the acquisition of genes within integrons and their stabilization in the new genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genomic Diversification of the Whole Acinetobacter Genus: Origins, Mechanisms, and Consequences

TL;DR: The data suggest that A. baumannii arose from an ancient population bottleneck followed by population expansion under strong purifying selection, and the outstanding diversification of the species occurred largely by horizontal transfer at specific hotspots preferentially located close to the replication terminus.
Journal ArticleDOI

The chromosomal organization of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.

TL;DR: Overrepresentation of hotspots with fewer mobile genetic elements in naturally transformable bacteria suggests that homologous recombination and horizontal gene transfer are tightly linked in genome evolution.
