Rapid Speciation Characterized by Incomplete Lineage Sorting in the Globally Distributed Bacterium Sulfitobacter

X. Wang, K. Uematsu, H. Nakamura, T. Akita, K. Kimura, G. Li, X. Lin, D. Zhang, X.-H. Zhang, C. Sun, I. Obernosterer, Y. Tomaru, Z. Shao, C. R. Voolstra, H. Innan, H. Luo

The paper identifies incomplete lineage sorting in Sulfitobacter, a marine bacterium, showing rapid speciation driven by ancestral polymorphism retention rather than adaptive selection.

The coalescent for prokaryotes with homologous recombination from external source

T. Akita, S. Takuno, H. Innan

This paper develops a simulation framework and tool, msPro, to study the impact of inter-specific recombination on SNP patterns in prokaryotes, showing how it increases polymorphism and creates complex SNP patterns.
