Intraspecies variation in bacterial genomes: the need for a species genome concept

Bacterial populations are clonal. Their evolution involves not only divergence between orthologous genes but also gain of genes from other clones or species, which has only recently been widely appreciated through macrorestriction mapping, genomic subtraction and complete genome sequencing. Genes ca...
