An astronomical increase in microbial genome data in recent years has led to strong demand for bioinformatic tools for pan-genome analysis within and across species. Here, we present PGAweb, a user-friendly, web-based tool for bacterial pan-genome analysis, which is composed of two main pan-genome analysis modules, PGAP and PGAP-X. PGAweb provides key interactive and customizable functions that include orthologous clustering, pan-genome profiling, sequence variation and evolution analysis, and functional classification. PGAweb presents features of genomic structural dynamics and sequence diversity with different visualization methods that are helpful for intuitively understanding the dynamics and evolution of bacterial genomes. PGAweb has an intuitive interface with one-click setting of parameters and is freely available at http://PGAweb.vlcc.cn/.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections, known for its multidrug resistance (MDR) and biofilm-forming abilities. ST48 is a particularly concerning sequence type and an emerging international clone linked to global spread and MDR infections. This study examines the comprehensive genomic epidemiology of the local and global populations of K.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone involved in regulating plant growth and responses to environmental stress. As receptors of ABA, pyrabactin resistance 1 (PYR)/PYR1-like (PYL) proteins play a central role in initiating ABA signal transduction. In this study, a total of 30 genes were identified and classified into three sub-families (PYL I-III) in the pan-genome of 17 species, through phylogenetic analysis.

Background: The receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are the largest family of proteins in plants. Characterized members play critical roles in diverse processes from growth to immunity, and yet the majority do not have a known function. Assigning function to RLKs poses a significant challenge due to the specificity of ligand recognition and because of the often pleiotropic or redundant functions RLKs possess.

Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains are the major causative agents of human urinary tract infections (UTIs). Many patients who develop UTIs will experience a recurrent UTI (RUTI) within 6 months despite antibiotic-mediated clearance of the initial infection. A significant proportion of RUTIs are caused by E.

The NAC transcription factor family is pivotal in regulating plant development and stress responses, yet its diversity and evolutionary dynamics in barley () remain underexplored. In this study, we performed a comprehensive pan-genome analysis to identify and characterize the across 20 barley accessions. A ranging from 127 to 149 were identified in each genome, in which the Morex genome harbored the highest count.
