The process of genome shrinkage in the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola

BACKGROUND: Very small genomes have evolved repeatedly in eubacterial lineages that have adopted obligate associations with eukaryotic hosts. Complete genome sequences have revealed that small genomes retain very different gene sets, raising the question of how final genome content is determined. To...
