Background: Genomic islands (GIs) are clusters of genes in prokaryotic genomes of probable horizontal origin. GIs are disproportionately associated with microbial adaptations of m...

Background: Identification of homologous regions or conserved syntenies across genomes is one crucial step in comparative genomics. This task is usually performed by genome alignm...
Many newly discovered genes are of unknown function. DNA microarrays are a method for determining the expression levels of all genes in an organism for which a complete genome seq...

Multi-break rearrangements break a genome into multiple fragments and further glue them together in a new order. While 2-break rearrangements represent standard reversals, fusions...
By comparing genomes among both closely and distally related species, comparative genomics analysis characterizes structures and functions of different genomes in both conserved a...
