The paper identifies 21 OMP families in E. coli showing mosaic evolution, including 16 new families, and links their variable regions to immunogenicity and antigenicity.

This study reconstructs ancient Salmonella chromosomes and shows genetic rearrangements affect gene expression and chromosomal conformation across lineages.

PlasEval evaluates plasmid binning tools by comparing their results to ground truth or other methods using a dissimilarity measure.

The paper introduces a recursive Hidden Markov Model profile-alignment strategy to identify new bacterial type III secreted effectors, finding 155 effectors and 59 proteins with N-terminal signal sequences across 27 genera.
