Bacterial Genes in the Aphid Genome: Absence of Functional Gene Transfer from Buchnera to Its Host

Genome reduction is typical of obligate symbionts. In cellular organelles, this reduction partly reflects transfer of ancestral bacterial genes to the host genome, but little is known about gene transfer in other obligate symbioses. Aphids harbor anciently acquired obligate mutualists, Buchnera aphi...
