Lineage-level within-species dynamics in the human facial skin microbiome by Baker, Jacob S.

“…Here, I describe methods to cluster large sets of diverse genomes into lineages and apply them to the observation of natural lineage-level assembly dynamics in the human facial skin microbiome. In Chapter 2, I use new methods to improve lineage-level clustering and delineate 4,055 genomes of C. acnes and S. epidermidis isolates from human facial skin into 167 lineages. …”
