Repeat-associated phase variable genes in the complete genome sequence of Neisseria meningitidis strain MC58.
Phase variation, mediated through variation in the length of simple sequence repeats, is recognized as an important mechanism for controlling the expression of factors involved in bacterial virulence. Phase variation is associated with most of the currently recognized virulence determinants of Neiss...
