Visualization of pseudogenes in intracellular bacteria reveals the different tracks to gene destruction

BACKGROUND: Pseudogenes reveal ancestral gene functions. Some obligate intracellular bacteria, such as Mycobacterium leprae and Rickettsia spp., carry substantial fractions of pseudogenes. Until recently, horizontal gene transfers were considered to be rare events in obligate host-associated bacteri...
