Gene Loss Dominates As a Source of Genetic Variation within Clonal Pathogenic Bacterial Species
Some of the most dangerous pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Yersinia pestis evolve clonally. This means that little or no recombination occurs between strains belonging to these species. Paradoxically, although different members of these species show extreme sequence similarity of or...
