Evidence of a Large Novel Gene Pool Associated with Prokaryotic Genomic Islands.
Microbial genes that are "novel" (no detectable homologs in other species) have become of increasing interest as environmental sampling suggests that there are many more such novel genes in yet-to-be-cultured microorganisms. By analyzing known microbial genomic islands and prophages, we de...
