Orphan Genes Shared by Pathogenic Genomes Are More Associated with Bacterial Pathogenicity
ABSTRACT Orphan genes (also known as ORFans [i.e., orphan open reading frames]) are new genes that enable an organism to adapt to its specific living environment. Our focus in this study is to compare ORFans between pathogens (P) and nonpathogens (NP) of the same genus. Using the pangenome idea, we...
