Visualization of pseudogenes in intracellular bacteria reveals the different tracks to gene destruction.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pseudogenes reveal ancestral gene functions. Some obligate intracellular bacteria, such as Mycobacterium leprae and Rickettsia spp., carry substantial fractions of pseudogenes. Until recently, horizontal gene transfers were considered to be rare events in obligate host-associated bacteria. RESULTS: We present a visualization tool that displays the relationships and positions of degraded and partially...
