Karlin presented the five criteria of detecting anomalous
gene clusters and pathogenicity islands in bacterial genome
and raised some examples. This is the major reference
our study is based on.

Winstanley and Attree present the
discovery of two type III secretion systems in B.
pseudomallei. Both discoveries were based on
sequence homology to known type III secretion systems in
related species.
