Tracing Lifestyle Adaptation in Prokaryotic Genomes
Lifestyle adaptation of microbes due to changes in their ecological niches or acquisition of new environments is a major driving force for genetic changes in their respective genomes. Moving into more specialised niches often results in the acquisition of new gene sets via horizontal gene transfer (...
