How often do they have sex? A comparative analysis of the population structure of seven eukaryotic microbial pathogens.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Tomasini Nicolás, Lauthier Juan José, Ayala Francisco José, Tibayrenc Michel, Diosque Patricio

Abstract excerpt

The model of predominant clonal evolution (PCE) proposed for micropathogens does not state that genetic exchange is totally absent, but rather, that it is too rare to break the prevalent PCE pattern. However, the actual impact of this "residual" genetic exchange should be evaluated. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) is an excellent tool to explore the problem. Here, we compared online available MLST datasets for...
