Evolution of a vascular plant pathogen is associated with the loss of CRISPR-Cas and an increase in genome plasticity and virulence genes
Paauw et al. report on the evolution of a plant pathogenic Xanthomonas pathovar and
show that the gain of mobile genetic elements and virulence factors coincided with
the loss of the CRISPR-Cas genome...
