#BAClibrary
What genomic features actually drive #Yersiniapestis virulence?

This study finds a 33 kb prophage-like fragment alone does not restore #virulence, while a #BAClibrary with ~8.3× genome coverage supports future genomic studies.

Why some #YersiniaPestis strains remain highly virulent is still not fully understood.

This study shows a conserved 33 kb prophage alone cannot restore #virulence and introduces the first #BAClibrary to advance genomic research.
