The relative contributions of recombination and point mutation to the diversification of bacterial clones

Low levels of recombination in bacterial species have often been inferred from the presence of linkage disequilibrium between the alleles at different loci in the population. However, significant linkage disequilibrium is inevitable in organisms that divide by binary fission, and recombinational rep...
