Laboratory evolution drives continued genome degradation in the facultative tsetse symbiont Sodalis glossinidius
This study provides insights into the evolutionary trajectory of facultative symbionts and has implications for studying the patterns of genome evolution in bacterial symbionts adapting to novel ecological niches, as well as paratransgenic approaches using S. glossinidius for trypanosome control.
