The relationship between life-styles of bacteria and genome size raises questions as to the mechanisms of bacterial genome evolution. Researchers have developed several theories to …

The availability of many complete bacterial genome sequences means that we can now examine on a broad scale the characteristics of the different types of DNA molecules in a genome.

Obligate bacterial symbionts or pathogens have the smallest genomes and the fewest number of pseudogenes of the three groups. The relationship between life-styles of bacteria and genome …

Through comparative analyses involving thousands of sequenced bacterial genomes, we have gained broad knowledge of the variation within and among bacterial genomes, and have …

All of the DNA found in an organism is collectively referred to as the genome. The human genome is comprised of 23 pairs of linear chromosomes, and approximately 3000 megabases (Mb) of …

This textbook offers a conceptual exploration of how bacterial genomes are organized, how they evolve, and how their genetic information is interpreted through intricate molecular networks.

Apr 28, 2025 · We review this developing picture of genome structure variation among bacteria, the challenges for the study of this phenomenon, and its impact on adaptation and evolution, …

Mar 24, 2006 · Though generally small and gene rich, bacterial genomes are constantly subjected to both mutational and population-level processes that operate to increase amounts of …

AllTheBacteria is a large-scale, collaborative, open-access project that assembles, annotates, and catalogs millions of bacterial and archaeal genomes from public sequencing data.

May 30, 2017 · Expansion of eukaryotic genomes occurs through the addition of non-functional sequences, such as repetitive sequences and transposable elements, whereas variation in …
