Metacommunity Structure Preserves Genome Diversity in the Presence of Gene-specific Selective Sweeps

2023-01-19

Abstract excerpt

The horizontal transfer of genes is fundamental for the eco-evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities, such as oceanic plankton, soil, and the human microbiome. In the case of an acquired beneficial gene, classic population genetics would predict a genome-wide selective sweep, whereby the genome spreads clonally with the gene, removing genome diversity. Instead, several sources of metagenomic data show the ex...
