Resolving the structural features of genomic islands: A machine learning approach
2008
Genome Research
Large inserts of horizontally acquired DNA that contain functionally related genes with limited phylogenetic distribution are often referred to as genomic islands (GIs), and structural definitions of these islands, based on common features, have been proposed. Although a large number of mobile elements fall well within the GI definition, there are several concerns about the structural consensus for GIs: The current GI definition was put forward 10 yr ago when only 12 complete bacterial genomes
