Comparative whole-genome analyses reveal over 100 putative phase-variable genes in the pathogenic Neisseria spp.
Previously, a complete genome analysis of Neisseria meningitidis strain MC58 revealed the largest repertoire of putative phase-variable genes described in any species to date. Initial comparisons with two incomplete Neisseria spp. genome sequences available at that time revealed differences in the r...
