Development of novel computational tools based on analysis of DNA compositional biases to identify and study the distribution of mobile genomic elements among bacteria

Horizontal gene transfer, well characterized as the transfer of genomic material between organisms contributes hugely in the evolution and speciation of bacteria. The transfer of such material brings about bacteria that are virulent and also in possession of genes that render them resistant to antib...
