A pangenomic acquisition account of genomic islands in prokaryotes
Microbiologist Mark van Passel wanted to investigate the relatedness between certain DNA regions, so-called genomic islands, within the genome of many different bacteria. After having investigated genomic islands from two bacterial strains, he wanted to do the analysis on all sequenced bacteria species. A BRS support engineer developed a software package that automatically analyses all the genomic islands of over 1000 species.
