Genomic repeats, genome plasticity and the dynamics of Mycoplasma evolution.

Nucleic acids research - 1 May 2002

Rocha Eduardo P C, Blanchard Alain

Abstract excerpt

Mycoplasmas evolved by a drastic reduction in genome size, but their genomes contain numerous repeated sequences with important roles in their evolution. We have established a bioinformatic strategy to detect the major recombination hot-spots in the genomes of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma pulmonis. This allowed the identification of large numbers of...
