The comparative population genetics of <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> and <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>

2018-11-27

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) and N. gonorrhoeae (Ng) are closely related pathogenic bacteria. Using those genes found across 20 Nm and 15 Ng genomes we find that Nm is 7x more diverse than Ng in their combined core genome. Both species have acquired the majority of their diversity by recombination with divergent strains, however we find that Nm has acquired more of its diversity by recombination than Ng. We find t...
