Mutational Meltdown in Primary Endosymbionts: Selection Limits Muller's Ratchet
BACKGROUND: Primary bacterial endosymbionts of insects (p-endosymbionts) are thought to be undergoing the process of Muller's ratchet where they accrue slightly deleterious mutations due to genetic drift in small populations with negligible recombination rates. If this process were to go unchec...
