Quantitative and functional characterization of the hyper-conserved protein of Prochlorococcus and marine Synechococcus.
A large fraction of any bacterial genome consists of hypothetical protein-coding open reading frames (ORFs). While most of these ORFs are present only in one or a few sequenced genomes, a few are conserved, often across large phylogenetic distances. Such conservation provides clues to likely unchara...
