The microbial pan-genome
1.2K
TL;DR: A decade after the beginning of the genomic era, the question of how genomics can describe a bacterial species has not been fully addressed and the pan-genome, which is composed of a "core genome" containing genes present in all strains, and a "dispensable genome", might be orders of magnitude larger than any single genome.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses of Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens
Wei Zhang,Edward G. Dudley,Joseph T. Wade +2 more
- 01 Jan 2011
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on comparative genomic hybridization microarrays, which allow comparison of subtle genomic or transcriptomic variations between two bacterial samples, such as genomic variation between two different bacterial strains or transcriptsomic alterations of same bacterial strain under two different treatments.

Pangenome Analysis Reveals a High Degree of Genetic Diversity in Gardnerella vaginalis: An In Silico Approach
A. G. Felice,Eduarda Guimarães Sousa,Fabiana Vieira Dominici,Vasco Ariston Azevedo,Siomar de Castro Soares +4 more
TL;DR: The results reveal considerable genome variability in Gardnerella vaginalis, indicating a highly diverse pangenome, and underscore the need for sequencing new G. vaginalis genomes to better comprehend its variability and adaptation patterns.

Template-Assisted Metabolic Reconstruction and Assembly of Hybrid Bacterial Models.
TL;DR: This chapter proposes two general protocols to address the issues of quickly generating strain-specific metabolic models, given the relevant genomic sequence and an already existing, high-quality metabolic model of a different strain belonging to the same species, and reconstructing the metabolic models of a hybrid strain containing genomic elements from two different parental strains.

TL;DR: The genomic sequence of six strains representing the five major disease-causing serotypes of Streptococcus agalactiae, the main cause of neonatal infection in humans, was generated and Mathematical extrapolation of the data suggests that the gene reservoir available for inclusion in the S. agalactic pan-genome is vast and that unique genes will continue to be identified even after sequencing hundreds of genomes.
