Pervasive, genome-wide positive selection leading to functional divergence in the bacterial genus Campylobacter.

Abstract excerpt

An open question in bacterial genomics is the role that adaptive evolution of the core genome plays in diversification and adaptation of bacterial species, and how this might differ between groups of bacteria occupying different environmental circumstances. The genus Campylobacter encompasses several important human and animal enteric pathogens, with genome sequence data available for eight species. We estimate...
