Mining the Methylome Reveals Extensive Diversity in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus epidermidis</named-content> Restriction Modification

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus epidermidis is a significant opportunistic pathogen of humans. Molecular studies in this species have been hampered by the presence of restriction-modification (RM) systems that limit introduction of foreign DNA. Here, we establish the complete genomes and methylomes for seve...
