Summary Introduction

Comparative genomics plays an important role in discerning the adaptive nature of the microbe to the specific ecological niches and in the development of new therapeutic agents. Comparing the genomes reveals the information about the evolution and the structure of the genome. This includes the importance of HGT (horizontal gene transfer). The exchange of genetic materials between the organisms rather than its transmission from the parent to offspring is called horizontal gene transfer.
