Uncovering rate variation of lateral gene transfer during bacterial genome evolution

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Large scale genome arrangement, such as whole gene insertion/deletion, plays an important role in bacterial genome evolution. Various methods have been employed to study the dynamic process of gene insertions and deletions, such as p...
