Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzes the genome sequences of different Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains to identify chromosomal rearrangements and the specific sequence features, like prophages and insertion sequences, that contribute to these changes.
  • While most strains have similar overall chromosomal arrangements, certain strains (e.g., NCCP11945 compared to FA1090) show multiple breakpoints, mostly associated with mobile genetic elements such as prophages and IS-like repeats that facilitate rearrangements.
  • The main mechanisms behind these rearrangements involve activation and reintegration of prophages and IS elements, as well as homologous recombination between similar sequences, leading to inversions and other structural changes in the genome.

To celebrate research, @KingstonUni @KingstonSEC had an on-line Festival of Research. I was asked to give my Inaugural Professorial Lecture, having been promoted to Professor in 2020. Here it is. #AMR #genomics #microbiology #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience https://t.co/nXhHXpHLxI
