Restriction-Modification Systems as Mobile Genetic Elements in the Evolution of an Intracellular Symbiont
Long-term vertical transmission of intracellular bacteria causes massive genomic erosion and results in extremely small genomes, particularly in ancient symbionts. Genome reduction is typically preceded by the accumulation of pseudogenes and proliferation of mobile genetic elements, which are respon...
