Pathogenic Bacillus anthracis in the progressive gene losses and gains in adaptive evolution

BACKGROUND: Sequence mutations represent a driving force of adaptive evolution in bacterial pathogens. It is especially evident in reductive genome evolution where bacteria underwent lifestyles shifting from a free-living to a strictly intracellular or host-depending life. It resulted in loss-of-fun...
