Comparative Genomics of a Parthenogenesis-Inducing Wolbachia Symbiont. [PDF]
Wolbachia is an intracellular symbiont of invertebrates responsible for inducing a wide variety of phenotypes in its host. These host-Wolbachia relationships span the continuum from reproductive parasitism to obligate mutualism, and provide a unique ...
