Abstract excerpt
Microbial species concepts have long been the focus of contentious debate, fueled by technological limitations to the genetic resolution of species, by the daunting task of investigating phenotypic variation among individual microscopic organisms, and by a lack of understanding of gene flow in reproductively asexual organisms that are prone to promiscuous horizontal gene transfer. Population genomics, the...
