Evolution of Xanthomonas Gene Content: Gene Gain/Loss History and Species Divergence

Evolution of Xanthomonas Gene Content: Gene Gain/Loss History and Species Divergence

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays key roles in the evolution of pathogenetic bacteria, especially in pathogenetic associated genes. In this study, the evolutionary dynamics of Xanthomonas at species level were determined by the comparative analysis of the complete genomes of 15 Xanthomonas strain...
