Bacterial genomes contain clusters of genes that are acquired by horizontal transfer, called
genomic islands (GIs). GIs are frequently associated with microbial adaptations that are of …

Horizontal gene transfer (also called lateral gene transfer) is a major mechanism for
microbial genome evolution, enabling rapid adaptation and survival in specific niches …

Abstract Motivation Genomic islands (GIs) are clusters of genes of probable horizontal origin
that play a major role in bacterial and archaeal genome evolution and microbial adaptability …

VRprofile is a Web server that facilitates rapid investigation of virulence and antibiotic
resistance genes, as well as extends these trait transfer-related genetic contexts, in newly …

Genomic islands are related to microbial adaptation and carry different genomic
characteristics from the host. Therefore, many methods have been proposed to detect …

A significant challenge in bacterial genomics is to catalogue genes acquired through the
evolutionary process of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Both comparative genomics and …

Background Genomic islands are associated with microbial adaptations, carrying genomic
signatures different from the host. Some methods perform an overall test to identify genomic …

The Golgi apparatus is an important eukaryotic organelle. Successful prediction of Golgi
protein types can provide valuable information for elucidating protein functions involved in …

Tools for genomic island prediction use strategies for genomic comparison analysis and
sequence composition analysis. The goal of comparative analysis is to identify unique …

Genomic islands (GIs) that are associated with microbial adaptations and carry sequence
patterns different from that of the host are sporadically distributed among closely related …
