A Rickettsia Genome Overrun by Mobile Genetic Elements Provides Insight into the Acquisition of Genes Characteristic of an Obligate Intracellular Lifestyle
We present the draft genome for the Rickettsia endosymbiont of Ixodes scapularis (REIS), a symbiont of the deer tick vector of Lyme disease in North America. Among Rickettsia species ( Alphaproteobacteria: Rickettsiales ), REIS has the largest genome sequenced to date (>2 Mb) and contains 2,309 gene...
