POPULATION GENOMICS MICROORGANISMS GEBUNDEN

Population genomics is a rapidly emerging field that has the potential to transform our
understanding of how evolutionary forces shape genomic diversity among microbes. There have
already been considerable advances in understanding gene flow and spread of adaptive traits 
and in linking epidemiology with evolutionary biology. The current challenge is to find
unifying evolutionary principles for organisms that display a wide range of reproductive
biology ¿ from highly clonal to promiscuous ¿ and for which the vast majority have eluded
cultivation. This requires interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate novel computational
tools  testing of existing and novel population genetic models  and creative new ways of
linking genetic diversity to ecological factors. This pioneering book will discuss the advances
made and promises of population genomics in microorganisms  outlining some of the key
theoretical and practical challenges for microbial population genomics  including defining and
identifying populations  genomics-based reverse ecology and building appropriate tools to
understand microbes in a variety of complex environments.
