Phylogenetic detection of conserved gene clusters in microbial genomes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microbial genomes contain an abundance of genes with conserved proximity forming clusters on the chromosome. However, the conservation can be a result of many factors such as vertical inheritance, or functional selection. Thus, ident...
