Distinct Potentially Adaptive Accumulation of Truncation Mutations in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A

Distinct Potentially Adaptive Accumulation of Truncation Mutations in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A

ABSTRACT Gene inactivation through the accumulation of truncation (or premature stop codon) mutations is a common mode of evolution in bacteria. It is frequently believed to result from reductive evolutionary processes allowing purging of superfluous traits. However, several works have demonstrated...
