Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination plays a key function in the evolution of bacterial genomes. Within Xylella fastidiosa, an emerging plant pathogen with increasing host and geographic ranges, it has been suggested that homologous recombination facilitates host switching, speciation, and the development of virulence. We used 340 whole-genome sequences to study the relationship between inter- and intrasubspecific homologous...
