Abstract excerpt
Understanding the forces shaping genomic diversity within bacterial species is essential for interpreting microbiome evolution, ecology, and host associations. Here, we analyze over one hundred prevalent gut bacterial species using the Unified Human Gut Genome collection to characterize patterns of intraspecific genomic variability. Gene content divergence scales predictably with divergence in core genome single...
