AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers sequenced the genomes of two strains (vgh16W and vgh16R) of Burkholderia pseudomallei, which are genetically very similar.
  • The comparison revealed that the two strains are 99.99% identical and consist of 22 tandem repeated sequences with less than 100 base pairs of insertions or deletions (indels).
  • Additionally, there are 199 single-base variations between the two strains, highlighting some genetic diversity despite their high similarity.

Article Abstract

The entire genomes of two isogenic morphovars (vgh16W and vgh16R) of Burkholderia pseudomallei were sequenced. A comparison of the sequences from both strains indicates that they show 99.99% identity, are composed of 22 tandem repeated sequences with <100 bp of indels, and have 199 single-base variants.
