Estimating the relative roles of recombination and point mutation in the generation of single locus variants in Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli.

Abstract excerpt

Single locus variants (SLVs) are bacterial sequence types that differ at only one of the seven canonical multilocus sequence typing (MLST) loci. Estimating the relative roles of recombination and point mutation in the generation of new alleles that lead to SLVs is helpful in understanding how organisms evolve. The relative rates of recombination and mutation for Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli were...
