Scan Cluster identifies homologous gene clusters across genomes without database constraints, showing high accuracy in detecting cluster boundaries and evolutionary changes.

The paper identifies recent IS transposition events in rhizobia and suggests they may influence gene activation/inactivation but not major adaptation.

This study analyzes the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 synonymous codon usage over time using genome sequences collected since December 2019, finding a trend toward reduced codon similarity to the human host.

ISCompare identifies differentially located insertion sequences in bacterial genomes, outperforming existing tools and enabling analysis of multiple ISs simultaneously.
