Clonal interference and genomic repair during strain coexistence in the gut.

Humans and other mammals are colonized by multiple strains of Escherichia coli, but the tempo and mode of evolution of different coexisting strains, between whom horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can occur, is poorly understood. Here, we follow in real time the evolution of two phylogenetic distinct st...
