Correlations between the role, sequence conservation, genomic location and severity of phenotype in myxobacterial developmental genes.

Abstract excerpt

Myxobacterial development requires the coordinated action of both intracellular and intercellular signalling pathways. A dataset of myxobacterial developmental gene properties suggests that genes encoding components of intracellular pathways tend to be less conserved, yield less severe phenotypes upon deletion and lie closer to the chromosomal origin than intercellular signalling genes. It would seem that there...
