Population genomics is a rapidly emerging field that has the
potential to transform our understanding of how evolutionary forces
shape genomic diversity among microbes. There have already been
considerable advances in understanding gene flow and spread of
adaptive traits, and in linking epidemiology with evolutionary
biology. The current challenge is to find unifying evolutionary
principles for organisms that display a wide range of reproductive
biology - from highly clonal to promiscuous - and for which the
vast majority have eluded cultivation. This requires
interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate novel computational
tools, testing of existing and novel population genetic models, and
creative new ways of linking genetic diversity to ecological
factors. This pioneering book will discuss the advances made and
promises of population genomics in microorganisms, outlining some
of the key theoretical and practical challenges for microbial
population genomics, including defining and identifying
populations, genomics-based reverse ecology and building
appropriate tools to understand microbes in a variety of complex
environments.
