“…This provides coding probes with phenotypic correlation (Bielaszewska et al, 2011), as long as the phenotypic or proteomic survey is comprehensive. The bottom-up approach, conversely, starts with obtaining the genetic information of target and non-target bacteria and uses in vitro (Akopyants et al, 1998;Coudeyras, Marchandin, Fajon, & Forestier, 2008;Marenda, Sagne, Poumarat, & Citti, 2005) or in silico Ho et al, 2012;Ho, Yuen, Lau, & Woo, 2011;Ou, Ju, et al, 2007;Qin et al, 2011;Yu et al, 2010) methods to select genomic regions that are only present in the targeted species but not in other ones. This allows the discovery process to reach into intergenic spacers, non-coding regions and genes that are not expressed in experimental conditions, resulting in a theoretically larger repertoire of potential probes.…”
