Enhanced Mutation Rate, Relaxed Selection, and the “Domino Effect” are associated with Gene Loss in Blattabacterium, A Cockroach Endosymbiont

Intracellular endosymbionts have reduced genomes that progressively lose genes at a timescale of tens of million years. We previously reported that gene loss rate is linked to mutation rate in Blattabacterium, however, the mechanisms causing gene loss are not yet fully understood. Here, we carried o...
