Genome expansion of an obligate parthenogenesis-associated Wolbachia poses an exception to the symbiont reduction model
BACKGROUND: Theory predicts that dependency within host-endosymbiont interactions results in endosymbiont genome size reduction. Unexpectedly, the largest Wolbachia genome was found in the obligate, parthenogenesis-associated wFol. In this study, we investigate possible processes underlying this gen...
