Genome evolution in bacterial endosymbionts of insects.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Nov 2002

Wernegreen Jennifer J

Abstract excerpt

Many insect species rely on intracellular bacterial symbionts for their viability and fecundity. Large-scale DNA-sequence analyses are revealing the forces that shape the evolution of these bacterial associates and the genetic basis of their specialization to an intracellular lifestyle. The full genome sequences of two obligate mutualists, Buchnera aphidicola of aphids and Wigglesworthia glossinidia of tsetse...
