Molecular Signatures
Comparative genomic analysis has led to the identification of 11 proteins which are uniquely found in members of the family Helicobacteraceae. Of these proteins, 7 are found in all species of the family, while the remaining 4 are not found in any Helicobacter strains and are unique to Wollinella. Additionally, a rare genetic event has led to the fusion of the RpoB and RpoC genes in this family, which is characteristic of this family.

Famous quotes containing the word signatures:
“I am not a very sentimental man; and the best sentiment I can think of is, that if you collect the signatures of all persons who are no less distinguished than I, you will have a very undistinguishing mass of names.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
