The Evolution of Bacterial Genome Sequencing
The concept of a pan genome traces back to the study of abacter m known as strepta coccus a galacti, which can cause deadly infections in newborns. Scientists analyzing six strains of the bacterium published a paper in two thousand and five trying to capture all of the microbes genetic nuances. It was a tricky task because bacteria swap and share bits of diana even with other species. But what it lacks in dynamics, the human genome makes up for in length and repetition.
