Factors driving effective population size and pan-genome evolution in bacteria

Abstract Background Knowledge of population-level processes is essential to understanding the efficacy of selection operating within a species. However, attempts at estimating effective population sizes (Ne) are particularly challenging in bacteria due to their extremely large census populations siz...
