How Genomics Is Changing What We Know About the Evolution and Genome of Bordetella pertussis.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Advances in experimental medicine and biology"
DOI: 10.1007/5584_2019_401
Abstract: The evolution of Bordetella pertussis from a common ancestor similar to Bordetella bronchiseptica has occurred through large-scale gene loss, inactivation and rearrangements, largely driven by the spread of insertion sequence element repeats throughout the genome.… read more here.
