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 …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are closely related organisms that cause
the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea and serious bacterial meningitis and …

ABSTRACT Psychrobacter arcticus strain 273-4, which grows at temperatures as low as−
10° C, is the first cold-adapted bacterium from a terrestrial environment whose genome was …

While much data exist in the literature about how Neisseria meningitidis adheres to and
invades human cells, its behavior inside the host cell is largely unknown. One of the …

Mining the Arabidopsis genome for transposable elements (TEs) by DNA sequence
similarity searches and analysis protocols is revealing previously unidentified families of TEs …

Intergenic regions of prokaryotic genomes carry multiple copies of terminal inverted repeat
(TIR) sequences, the nonautonomous miniature inverted-repeat transposable element …

Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is an important commensal, pathogen and
model organism that faces up to the environment in its exclusive human host with a small but …

Mariner-like elements (MLEs) are DNA transposons found throughout the plant and animal
kingdoms. A previous computational survey of the rice (Oryza sativa) genome sequence …

Correia elements are a prominent feature of all four Neisseria genome sequences. We
report an in silico analysis of the structure and genomic distribution of these elements and …

Small repeat sequences in bacterial genomes, which represent non‐autonomous mobile
elements, have close similarities to archaeon and eukaryotic miniature inverted repeat …
