Acceleration of genomic evolution caused by enhanced mutation rate in endocellular symbionts.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Oct 2002

Itoh Takeshi, Martin William, Nei Masatoshi

Abstract excerpt

Endosymbionts, which are widely observed in nature, have undergone reductive genome evolution because of their long-term intracellular lifestyle. Here we compared the complete genome sequences of two different endosymbionts, Buchnera and a protist mitochondrion, with their close relatives to study the evolutionary rates of functional genes in endosymbionts. The results indicate that the rate of amino acid...
