A coarse-graining, ultrametric approach to resolve the phylogeny of prokaryotic strains with frequent homologous recombination
Abstract Background A frequent event in the evolution of prokaryotic genomes is homologous recombination, where a foreign DNA stretch replaces a genomic region similar in sequence. Recombination can affect the relative position of two genomes in a phylogenetic reconstruction in two different ways: (...
