The impact of the neisserial DNA uptake sequences on genome evolution and stability.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Efficient natural transformation in Neisseria requires the presence of short DNA uptake sequences (DUSs). Doubts remain whether DUSs propagate by pure selfish molecular drive or are selected for 'safe sex' among conspecifics. RESULTS: Six neisserial genomes were aligned to identify gene conversion fragments, DUS distribution, spacing, and conservation. We found a strong link between recombination and...
