Abstract excerpt
Recombination is one of the most important molecular mechanisms of prokaryotic genome evolution, but its exact roles are still in debate. Here we try to infer genome-wide recombination within a species, utilizing a dataset of 149 complete genomes of Escherichia coli from diverse animal hosts and geographic origins, including 45 in-house sequenced with the single-molecular real-time platform. Two major clades...
