Distributive conjugal transfer in mycobacteria generates progeny with meiotic-like genome-wide mosaicism, allowing mapping of a mating identity locus

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Todd A. Gray et al. from the University at Albany, Albany, New York, United States of America have published the research work: Distributive Conjugal Transfer in Mycobacteria Generates Progeny with Meiotic-Like Genome-Wide Mosaicism, Allowing Mapping of a Mating Identity Locus, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of April/25,/2012
• what: The authors determine and compare the complete genome sequences of independent progeny from bacterial matings between defined donor and recipient strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis. The study provides the first genome-wide analysis of bacterial conjugal transfer.
• how: The authors hypothesized that . . .
