Pangenome sequence evolution within human gut microbiomes is explained by gene-specific rather than host-specific selective pressures
2020-09-30
Abstract excerpt
Pangenomes – the cumulative set of genes encoded by a species – arise from evolutionary forces including horizontal gene transfer (HGT), drift, and selection. The relative importance of drift and selection in shaping pangenome structure has been recently debated, and the role of sequence evolution (point mutations) within mobile genes has been largely ignored, with studies focusing mainly on patterns of gene prese...
