Clonal yet Different: Understanding the Causes of Genomic Heterogeneity in Microbial Species and Impacts on Public Health
ABSTRACT Why are members of a microbial species not the same? They may be clonal, but microbial populations are often composed of multiple cocirculating lineages distinguished by large phenotypic and genetic differences. Species and the mechanisms of speciation have been notoriously challenging to s...
