hi all- is there a softwrae that is used to determine (genomic islands) within the draft assembled bacterial genomes?- thanks all

There are lots of approaches, often based on comparison to several close relatives to find novel genes not in the relatives. If these form clusters they are candidates for horizontally acquired islands - although if in a lone contig you might also suspect contamination. -
thanks- what is the fastest approach to determine unique genes (specially genomic islands) within the assembled draft genomesComment

what is the software can tell about genomic islands (no. size, etc) in relation to the reference bacterial genome please?Comment

You'll just need to pick out differences manually. Use a visual genome aligner like Mauve to compare your genome against a reference. You can even get as simple as a straight up dotplot. Large genetic insertions should be blindingly obvious.Comment

Here is a review listing the methods to detect genomic islands http://www.nature.com/nrmicro/journa...micro2350.htmlComment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
