Abstract excerpt
Gene inactivation through the accumulation of truncation (or premature stop codon) mutations is a common mode of evolution in bacteria. It is frequently believed to result from reductive evolutionary processes allowing purging of superfluous traits. However, several works have demonstrated that, similar to the occurrences of inactivating nonsynonymous (i.e., amino acid replacement) mutations under positive...
