NER contributes to H. pylori diversity

Genetic diversification of Helicobacter pylori is controlled, in part, by the nucleotide excision repair system (NER) which contributes to both the bacteria?s high mutation rate and control of the incorporation of imported DNA fragments after natural transformation.

Abstract | Full text | PDF

Scope

BMC Microbiology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on analytical and functional studies of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses and small parasites, as well as host and therapeutic responses to them and their interaction with the environment.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.

Quote

"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
