De R, Whiteley M, Azad R
mSystems . 2023 Nov; 8(6):e0047323. PMID: 37921470
We present here a new systems-level approach to decipher genetic factors and biological pathways associated with virulence and/or antibiotic treatment of bacterial pathogens. The power of this approach was demonstrated...

Sengupta S, Azad R
Microb Genom . 2023 Feb; 9(1). PMID: 36748570
A significant challenge in bacterial genomics is to catalogue genes acquired through the evolutionary process of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Both comparative genomics and sequence composition-based methods have often been...

AlMalki F, Choudhary M, Azad R
Arch Microbiol . 2022 Dec; 205(1):25. PMID: 36515719
Since the discovery of second chromosome in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 in 1989, multipartite genomes have been reported in over three hundred bacterial species under nine different phyla. This has shattered...
