Microbial population genomics and ecology

Edward F DeLong. Curr Opin Microbiol. 2002 Oct.

Abstract

The origins of biological complexity in microbial ecosystems are encoded within the collective genomes of the community. Cultivation-independent genomic studies provide direct access to the genomes of naturally occurring microbes, cultivated or not. Genome-enabled approaches are now significantly advancing current knowledge of genome content, diversity, population biology and evolution in natural microbial populations.
