The genetic polymorphisms of three virulence genes, bibA (encoding a surface protein), fbsB (encoding the fibrinogen-binding protein B) and sip (encoding a surface immunogenic protein), were investigated by PCR and DNA sequencing (Brochet et al., 2006; Springman et al., 2009).

Sample text:```Previous studies have shown that sialome genes were subject to strong ancient selective pressures that have resulted in species-specific adaptations (Varki 2001; Angata et al. 2004; Altheide et al. 2006; Varki & Gagneux 2009), suggesting that they likely evolved in response to ancient pathogens The function of sialome genes, i.```

Sample text:```To further characterize isolates, random amplification of polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) was performed using an adaptation of methods described elsewhere.(10)```
Sample intent: background



Sample text:```This process is controlled not only by the protein-coding segments of the genome but also by non-coding regions, including loci that produce small RNAs (Grivna et al., 2006; He et al., 2009; Thomson and Lin, 2009).```
Sample intent: method



Sample text:```This is interesting in relation to the result from our previous CGH study (comparing the number of significantly hybridizing probes on the microarray) that showed high sequence divergence on the Z chromosome between the common whitethroat and the zebra finch [62]; and such patterns are also found in other species [48,51,69].```
