For example, an antibiotic target may be absent from the bacterial genome.

This is not to suggest that all bacterial genomes are reducing in size and complexity.

It has also been used to scaffold and validate bacterial genomes.

It was thought that bacterial genomes, like eukaryotes, were relatively stable.

Both proteins are encoded on the same operon within the bacterial genome.

About a dozen bacterial genomes have been sequenced since 1995, only one larger than that of tuberculosis.

Plasmids supplement the bacterial genome and allow them to respond quickly to threats such as antibiotics.

The theory is based upon the logical premise that smaller bacterial genomes will take less time to replicate.

The data indicates that selection is not a suitable explanation for the small sizes of bacterial genomes.

The bronchial tree for instance contains a mean of 2000 bacterial genomes per cm surface.

It was the second complete bacterial genome ever sequenced, after Haemophilus influenzae.

Showing that bacterial genomes now lay within the sequencer's reach set off something of a researchers' gold rush.

Here I advocate a rather straightforward approach to address this problem-focused initially on the bacterial genomes.

When submitting a complete bacterial genome, please review the genome guidelines.

The smallest known bacterial genomes contain as few as 500,000 letters in their genetic instruction set.

It also has one of the smallest bacterial genomes known, with 816 kilobase pairs (kbs).

They rebuilt the virus and host bacterial genome sequences from the natural acidophilic biofilms.

One of the main goals pertaining to research of these bacterial genomes is to develop resistant varieties.

Bacterial genomes can be sequenced in a single run with several X coverage with this technique.

Hfr bacteria possess the entire F episome integrated into the bacterial genome.

"Accurate multiplex polony sequencing of an evolved bacterial genome."

As soon as the genes are sequenced, scientists can compare thousands of bacterial genomes simultaneously.

Further, its DNA shows substantial similarity to bacterial genomes.

F bacteria possess F factor as a plasmid independent of the bacterial genome.

Compelling evidence indicates that the apparent degradation of bacterial genomes is owed to a deletional bias.
