View article: Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy
Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy Open
Most bacteria engage in gene flow through homologous recombination, and this mechanism may play a crucial role in maintaining species cohesiveness, much like sexual reproduction does in eukaryotes. However, introgression has been reported …

Homologous recombination shapes the architecture and evolution of bacterial genomes Open
Homologous recombination is a key evolutionary force that varies considerably across bacterial species. However, how the landscape of homologous recombination varies across genes and within individual genomes has only been studied in a few…

Co-evolution and Gene Transfers Drive Speciation Patterns in Host-Associated Bacteria Open
Microbial communities that maintain symbiotic relationships with animals evolve by adapting to the specific environmental niche provided by their host, yet understanding their patterns of speciation remains challenging. Whether bacterial s…

Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy Open
Most bacteria engage in gene flow and that this may act as a force maintaining species cohesiveness like it does in sexual organisms. However, introgression (gene flow between the genomic backbone of distinct species) has been reported in …

Evolution of homologous recombination rates across bacteria Open
Bacteria are nonsexual organisms but are capable of exchanging DNA at diverse degrees through homologous recombination. Intriguingly, the rates of recombination vary immensely across lineages where some species have been described as purel…
