Dynamics of bacterial recombination in the human gut microbiome

2022-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer is a ubiquitous force in microbial evolution. Previous studies have shown that the human gut is a hot spot for gene transfer between species, but the more subtle exchange of variation within species – collectively known as recombination – remains poorly characterized in this ecosystem. Here, we show how the genetic structure of the human gut microbiome provides a unique opportunity to meas...
