Evolution of simple sequence repeat-mediated phase variation in bacterial genomes.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Sept 2012

Bayliss Christopher D, Palmer Michael E

Abstract excerpt

Mutability as mechanism for rapid adaptation to environmental challenge is an alluringly simple concept whose apotheosis is realized in simple sequence repeats (SSR). Bacterial genomes of several species contain SSRs with a proven role in adaptation to environmental fluctuations. SSRs are hypermutable and generate reversible mutations in localized regions of bacterial genomes, leading to phase variable ON/OFF...
