Estimation of pathogenic potential of an environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate using comparative genomics
Abstract The isolation and sequencing of new strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa created an extensive dataset of closed genomes. Many of the publicly available genomes are only used in their original publication while additional in silico information, based on comparison to previously published genome...

Abstract The isolation and sequencing of new strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa created an extensive dataset of closed genomes.
