An in-depth genome analysis of Piscirickettsia salmonis strains is presented.

What is it about?

Sequence features are analyzed in the context of core- and pan- genomes for P. salmonis, a worldwide disseminated fish pathogen and responsible for heavy economic losses for the Chilean salmon industry.
