Establishing Sodalis species as a laboratory model of endosymbionts
… - is interesting as sequencing of its genome suggests S. glossinidius has undergone less genome reduction than its primary symbiont counterparts such as Wigglesworthia, and therefore has a more recent association with its host than the other symbionts. The benefit of this reduced rate …

Evolutionary Analysis of Large-Scale Genomic Changes
… differences in gene order among species. In the genomes, genes are rearranged through inversion, transposition, translocation, and chromosome fission and fusion. Using gene order as a phylogenetic character has the potential to resolve previously unresolved species relationships. In this study, …

Potato genomics three ways: quantification of endoreduplication in tubers, a romp through the transposon terrain, and elucidation of flower color regulation
… and high genetic load. This dissertation applies genome reduction techniques to investigate a broad swath of genomic and physiological phenomena. It begins with the presentation and evaluation of a protocol to characterize endoreduplication within potato tubers, demonstrating substantial variation …

Novel Ribosome Biogenesis in the Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi
… spacing between genes. In the B. burgdorferi genome, however, a single 16S rRNA gene is encoded more than 3 kb from the bicistronic 23S-5S rRNA operons. The 23S-5S operons are tandemly duplicated, yielding an uneven number of rRNA genes, a feature unique to Lyme disease Borrelia. Additionally, …
