18 de Febrero: Understanding the evolutionary relationships and major traits of Bacillus through comparative genomics.

Alcaraz, L.D., et al. (2010). Understanding the evolutionary relationships and major traits of Bacillus through comparative genomics. BMC genomics, 11(1), 332. doi:10.1186/1471-2164-11-332 BACKGROUND:The presence of Bacillus in very diverse environments reflects the versatile metabolic capabilities of a widely distributed genus. Traditional phylogenetic analysis based on limited gene sampling is not adequate for resolving the genus…
