'Community evolution' - laboratory strains and pedigrees in the age of genomics.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular microbiologists depend heavily on laboratory strains of bacteria, which are ubiquitous across the community of research groups working on a common organism. However, this presumes that strains present in different laboratories are in fact identical. Work on a culture of Vibrio cholerae preserved from 1916 provoked us to consider recent studies, which have used both classical genetics and next-generation...
