Microarray-based comparative genomic profiling of reference strains and selected Canadian field isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (2009)

Gouré, Julien, Findlay, Wendy A, Deslandes, Vincent, Bouevitch, Anne, Foote, Simon J, MacInnes, Janet I, ...

Abstract Background Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae , the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen that causes severe losses to the swine industry...

Evolution of competence and DNA uptake specificity in the Pasteurellaceae (2006)

Redfield, Rosemary J, Findlay, Wendy A, Bossé, Janine, Kroll, J Simon, Cameron, Andrew DS, Nash, John HE

Abstract Background Many bacteria can take up DNA, but the evolutionary history and function of natural competence and transformation remain obscure. The sporadic distribution of competence suggests...

Comparative genomics profiling of clinical isolates of Aeromonas salmonicidausing DNA microarrays (2006)

Nash, John HE, Findlay, Wendy A, Luebbert, Christian C, Mykytczuk, Oksana L, Foote, Simon J, Taboada, Eduardo N, ...

Abstract Background Aeromonas salmonicida has been isolated from numerous fish species and shows wide variation in virulence and pathogenicity. As part of a larger research program to identify...

A new approach for the analysis of bacterial microarray-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization: insights from an empirical study (2005)

Taboada, Eduardo N, Acedillo, Rey R, Luebbert, Christian C, Findlay, Wendy A, Nash, John HE

Abstract Background Microarray-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (M-CGH) has been used to characterize the extensive intraspecies genetic diversity found in bacteria at the whole-genome level....

Large-Scale Comparative Genomics Meta-Analysis of Campylobacter jejuni Isolates Reveals Low Level of Genome Plasticity

Taboada, Eduardo N., Acedillo, Rey R., Carrillo, Catherine D., Findlay, Wendy A., Medeiros, Diane T., Mykytczuk, Oksana L., ...

We have used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) on a full-genome Campylobacter jejuni microarray to examine genome-wide gene conservation patterns among 51 strains isolated from food and...
