We report gene deletion and transcriptomic compensation as sources for Leishmania genetic adaptation, showing that new and selectable phenotypes not only result from epistatic interactions between gen
With a limited number of traditional virulence factors, the success of the nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is largely attributed to its ability to persist and resist. The niches encountere
Plant pathogens can rapidly adapt to host defenses, threatening the durability of resistance in crop varieties. It is thus crucial to identify the genetic determinants of virulence and understand how
