We compared the complete genome sequences of two Vibrio vulnificus strains YJ016 and CMCP6 and identified 14 regions (ranging in size from 14 to 117 kb), which had the characteristics of GIs. Bioinformatic analysis of these 14 GI regions identified the presence of phage-like integrase genes, aberrant GC content and genome signature (dinucleotide frequency) within each GI compared with the core genome indicating that these regions were acquired from an anomalous source. We examined the distribution of the nine GIs from strain YJ016 among 27 V.vulnificus isolates and found that most GIs were absent from the majority of these isolates. The chromosomal insertion sites of three GIs were adjacent to tRNA sites, which contained novel horizontally acquired DNA in all six available sequenced Vibrionaceae genomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0f.boyd@ucc.ie<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btl015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,28]],"date-time":"2006-01-28T01:48:24Z","timestamp":1138412904000},"page":"905-910","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Genomic island identification in <i>Vibrio vulnificus<\/i> reveals significant genome plasticity in this human pathogen"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"A.
