Small Insertions and Deletions Drive Genomic Plasticity during Adaptive Evolution of Yersinia pestis

ABSTRACT The life cycle of Yersinia pestis has changed a lot to adapt to flea-borne transmission since it evolved from an enteric pathogen, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Small insertions and deletions (indels), especially frameshift mutations, can have major effects on phenotypes and contribute to vi...
