Comparative Genomic Analysis of East Asian and Non-Asian Helicobacter pylori Strains Identifies Rapidly Evolving Genes

Helicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for the development of gastric adenocarcinoma, a disease that has a high incidence in East Asia. Genes that are highly divergent in East Asian H. pylori strains compared to non-Asian strains are predicted to encode proteins that differ in functional act...
