Evolution of plasmid domestication in plant-associated Pantoea: massive gain of genetic redundancy followed by differential gene loss
Devani Romero Picazo, Florence Muccino, Paul Kwasigroch…·Tal Dagan
This study shows that plasmids in Pantoea bacteria evolve into chromids through massive gene gain and differential gene loss, leading to genetic redundancy and stable inheritance.
