A computational approach for identifying pathogenicity islands in prokaryotic genomes
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Pathogenicity islands (PAIs), distinct genomic segments of pathogens encoding virulence factors, represent a subgroup of genomic islands (GIs) that have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer event. Up to now, computational approa...
