 The estimated coding density over the entire genome is 87%, and the average G+C content is 52.4%, values that are similar to those of strain FA1090.The NCCP11945 genome encodes 54 tRNAs and four copies of 16S-23S-5S rRNA operons.In 2011, researchers at Northwestern University found evidence of a human DNA fragment in a "N. gonorrhoeae" genome, the first example of horizontal gene transfer from humans to a bacterial pathogen.
