Recombination Facilitates Adaptive Evolution in Rhizobial Soil Bacteria.

Molecular biology and evolution - 9 Dec 2021

Cavassim Maria Izabel A, Andersen Stig U, Bataillon Thomas, Schierup Mikkel Heide

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination is expected to increase natural selection efficacy by decoupling the fate of beneficial and deleterious mutations and by readily creating new combinations of beneficial alleles. Here, we investigate how the proportion of amino acid substitutions fixed by adaptive evolution (α) depends on the recombination rate in bacteria. We analyze 3,086 core protein-coding sequences from 196 genomes...
