Massive comparative genomic analysis reveals convergent evolution of specialized bacteria
BACKGROUND: Genome size and gene content in bacteria are associated with their lifestyles. Obligate intracellular bacteria (i.e., mutualists and parasites) have small genomes that derived from larger free-living bacterial ancestors; however, the different steps of bacterial specialization from free-...
