Inter-species horizontal transfer resulting in core-genome and niche-adaptive variation within Helicobacter pylori

Background: Horizontal gene transfer is central to evolution in most bacterial species. The detection of exchanged regions is often based upon analysis of compositional characteristics and their comparison to the organism as a whole. In this study we describe a new methodology combining aspects of e...
