Discovery of positive and purifying selection in metagenomic time series of hypermutator microbial populations.

A general method to infer both positive and purifying selection during the real-time evolution of hypermutator pathogens would be broadly useful. To this end, we introduce a Simple Test to Infer Mode of Selection (STIMS) from metagenomic time series of evolving microbial populations. We test STIMS o...
