Predicting the operon structure of the Mycococcus xanthus genome using the novel software DiscOperon
ABSTRACT Motivation: Myxococcus xanthus is a predatory soil bacterium with a large genome of 9.14 MB due to a genome duplication event. While complete genome sequences of M. xanthus are available, gene annotation remains challenging due to its size and the resulting large number of duplicated genes. Operons, so syntenic block of genes that are co-regulated in bacterial genomes, are an important…
