Genome reduction in prokaryotic obligatory intracellular parasites of humans: a comparative analysis

1 Nov 2004

Abstract excerpt

Obligatory intracellular parasites have undergone significant genome reduction by gene loss over time in the context of their obligate associations with the host. The flux, streamlining and elimination of genes in these genomes constitute a selective and ongoing process. Comparative analyses of five completely sequenced obligatory intracellular parasite genomes reveal that these genomes display marked...
