Patterns of Gene Content and Co-occurrence Constrain the Evolutionary Path toward Animal Association in Candidate Phyla Radiation Bacteria

ABSTRACT Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) bacteria are small, likely episymbiotic organisms found across Earth’s ecosystems. Despite their prevalence, the distribution of CPR lineages across habitats and the genomic signatures of transitions among these habitats remain unclear. Here, we expand the ge...
