Rapid quantification of sequence repeats to resolve the size, structure and contents of bacterial genomes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Human genetic variation produces the wide range of phenotypic differences that make us individual. However, little is known about the distribution of variation in the most conserved functional regions of the human genome. We examined whether different subsets of the conserved human genome have been subjected...
