PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Evolution of Genome Size in E. coli.

The genome of E. coli is typically about 5.0 Mb and contains about 4200 genes. But E. coli genomes can vary from about 4 – 6 Mb among different strains.  Recent analysis has shown, that regardless of a strain’s phylogenetic origins, the genomes of E.
