Chance and necessity in the genome evolution of endosymbiotic bacteria of insects.

The ISME journal - 1 Jun 2017

Abstract excerpt

An open question in evolutionary biology is how does the selection-drift balance determine the fates of biological interactions. We searched for signatures of selection and drift in genomes of five endosymbiotic bacterial groups known to evolve under strong genetic drift. Although most genes in endosymbiotic bacteria showed evidence of relaxed purifying selection, many genes in these bacteria exhibited stronger...
