Same strain, two genomes: Creating a consensus circular genome of Myxococcus xanthus DZ2 revealed the diversity of a large polyploid prophage region within the close-related myxobacterial strains

Utkarsha Mahanta, Gaurav Sharma

The paper compares two genome assemblies of the same Myxococcus xanthus strain, identifies sequence variations, and constructs a consensus circular genome, highlighting genomic diversity in a prophage region.
