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 …

Fusarium oxysporum is an asexual fungal species that includes human and animal
pathogens and a diverse range of nonpathogens. Pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of …
