Evolutionary pressures on simple sequence repeats in prokaryotic coding regions
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are indel mutational hotspots in genomes. In prokaryotes, SSR loci can cause phase variation, a microbial survival strategy that relies on stochastic, reversible on–off switching of gene activity. By analyzing multiple strains of 42 fully sequenced prokaryotic species,...
