Microbial minimalism: genome reduction in bacterial pathogens.

Cell - 8 Mar 2002

Moran Nancy A

Abstract excerpt

When bacterial lineages make the transition from free-living or facultatively parasitic life cycles to permanent associations with hosts, they undergo a major loss of genes and DNA. Complete genome sequences are providing an understanding of how extreme genome reduction affects evolutionary direc...
