Abstract excerpt

In this opinion piece, we consider the meaning of the term 'wild type' in the context of microbiology. This is especially pertinent in the post-genomic era, where we have a greater awareness of species diversity than ever before. Genomic heterogeneity, in vitro evolution/selection pressures, definition of 'the wild', the size and importance of the pan-genome, gene-gene interactions (epistasis), and the nature of...
