This open access book offers the first comprehensive account of the
pan-genome concept and its manifold implications. The realization
that the genetic repertoire of a biological species always
encompasses more than the genome of each individual is one of the
earliest examples of big data in biology that opened biology to the
unbounded. The study of genetic variation observed within a species
challenges existing views and has profound consequences for our
understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underpinning bacterial
biology and evolution. The underlying rationale extends well beyond
the initial prokaryotic focus to all kingdoms of life and evolves
into similar concepts for metagenomes, phenomes and epigenomes. The
book's respective chapters address a range of topics, from the
serendipitous emergence of the pan-genome concept and its impacts
on the fields of microbiology, vaccinology and antimicrobial
resistance, to the study of microbial communities, bioinformatic
applications and mathematical models that tie in with complex
systems and economic theory. Given its scope, the book will appeal
to a broad readership interested in population dynamics,
evolutionary biology and genomics.
