Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The oceanic microbiome is dominated by members of the SAR11 clade. Despite their abundance, challenges in recovering the full genetic diversity of natural populations have hindered our understanding of the eco-evolutionary mechanisms driving intra-species variation. In this study, we employed a combination of single-amplified genomes and long-read metagenomics to recover the genomic diversity of...
