The rearrangement rate on the molecule is too high to be used as a phylogenetic marker, but here we demonstrate for the first time in mollusks that there is correlation between rearrangement rates and evolutionary rates. We also developed a new index (HERMES) to estimate the amount of ...
Integrated prophage genomes sometimes carry passenger genes of bacterial origin that can modify the phenotype of the host, resulting in improved fitness of infected cells, a process known as lysogenic conversion [59].Lamellodysidea-associated phage candidate scaffolds included bacterial genes encoding DNA...
