Abstract:
The affordability of bacterial genome sequencing has provided a helpful tool for sequencing large strain collections. Bente Børud (J. Bacteriol. 200:e00794-17, 2018, https://doi.org/doi:10.1128/JB.00794-17) recently led an effort to analyze the genomes of a collection of oropharyngeal Neisseria meningitidis isolates from 50 healthy individuals. Paired longitudinal isolates from each individual were sequenced. Genome analyses focused on (i) predicting the expression state of phase-variable loci that encode enzymes important for O-linked protein glycosylation and (ii) correlating specific genotypes with glycosylation phenotypes.

Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
