DOI: 10.1016/j.tim.2017.02.006
Abstract: Historical changes in population size, such as those caused by demographic range expansions, can produce nonadaptive changes in genomic diversity through mechanisms such as gene surfing. We propose that demographic range expansion of a microbial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evy152
Abstract: Abstract Neisseria meningitidis is the leading cause of epidemic meningitis in the “meningitis belt” of Africa, where clonal waves of colonization and disease are observed. Point mutations and horizontal gene exchange lead to constant diversification… read more here.
