In many pathogens, virulence can be conferred by a single region of the genome. In contrast, the facultative intracellular lifestyle of Salmonella demands a large number of genes distributed around the chromosome. The evolution of Salmonella has been marked by the acquisition of several pathogenicity islands , each contributing to the unique virulence properties of this microorganism.
The complementary strands of DNA differ with respect to replication and transcription. Both of these processes are asymmetric and can bias the occurrence of mutations between the strands: during replication, the discontinuous lagging strand undergoes certain errors at higher rates, and transcription overexposes the nontranscribed strand to DNA damage while targeting repair enzymes to the transcribed...
