Dynamics of dN/dS within recombining bacterial populations

2025-09-12

Abstract excerpt

The ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions (dN/dS) encodes important information about the selection pressures acting on protein-coding genes. In bacterial populations, dN/dS often declines with the sequence divergence between strains, but the mechanisms responsible for this broad empirical trend are still debated. Existing models have primarily focused on de novo mutations, overlooking the older genet...
