Learning Goals
- Identification of lineage-specific genomic changes of pathogens
- Estimate recombination, mutation, and selection in natural pathogen populations
Learning outcomes
- Be able to construct genome trees using genome-wide SNPs
- Use genome trees to identify orthologs and paralogs, and gene gains and losses
- Detecting recombination among bacterial genomes
- Use of coalescence tree to describe process of microbial genome evolution
