Small variable segments constitute a major type of diversity of bacterial genomes at the species level

BACKGROUND: Analysis of large scale diversity in bacterial genomes has mainly focused on elements such as pathogenicity islands, or more generally, genomic islands. These comprise numerous genes and confer important phenotypes, which are present or absent depending on strains. We report that despite...
