Genomics: leprosy - a degenerative disease of the genome.

Current biology : CB - 15 May 2001

Young D, Robertson B

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of the genome of the leprosy bacillus uncovers evidence of extensive deletion and inactivation of genes. Secluded in a specialised niche, it has discarded much of its genetic heritage, though retaining just enough to be a major human pathogen.
