Orphan Genes Shared by Pathogenic Genomes Are More Associated with Bacterial Pathogenicity
Recent pangenome analyses of numerous bacterial species have suggested that each genome of a single species may have a significant fraction of its gene content unique or shared by a very few genomes (i.e., ORFans). We selected nine bacterial genera, each containing at least five pathogenic and five...
