Origins of cin: Lateral Gene Transfer of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Nuclease Operon to Orientia tsutsugamushi

Kyle Oswalt, Seun Olaitan Oladipupo, Luis Mendez, Joseph J. Gillespie, John Frederick Beckmann

The paper demonstrates that a cytoplasmic incompatibility operon from Wolbachia has laterally transferred to Orientia tsutsugamushi and can induce CI in Drosophila, supporting the toxin-antidote model of CI.
