The emergence and fate of horizontally acquired genes in Escherichia coli.

PLoS computational biology - 11 Apr 2008

van Passel Mark W J, Marri Pradeep Reddy, Ochman Howard

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial species, and even strains within species, can vary greatly in their gene contents and metabolic capabilities. We examine the evolution of this diversity by assessing the distribution and ancestry of each gene in 13 sequenced isolates of Escherichia coli and Shigella. We focus on the eme...
