Functional Convergence in Reduced Genomes of Bacterial Symbionts Spanning 200 My of Evolution

The main genomic changes in the evolution of host-restricted microbial symbionts are ongoing inactivation and loss of genes combined with rapid sequence evolution and extreme structural stability; these changes reflect high levels of genetic drift due to small population sizes and strict clonality....
