Quantifying bacterial evolution in the wild: A birthday problem for Campylobacter lineages.

Quantifying bacterial evolution in the wild: A birthday problem for Campylobacter lineages.

Measuring molecular evolution in bacteria typically requires estimation of the rate at which nucleotide changes accumulate in strains sampled at different times that share a common ancestor. This approach has been useful for dating ecological and evolutionary events that coincide with the emergence...
