Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rates of recombination vary by three orders of magnitude in bacteria but the reasons for this variation is unclear. We performed a genome-wide study of recombination rate variation among genes in the intracellular bacterium Bartonella henselae, which has among the lowest estimated ratio of recombination relative to mutation in prokaryotes. RESULTS: The 1.9 Mb genomes of B. henselae strains IC11, UGA10...
