Pangenomes at the limits of evolution

Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Apr 4:S0169-5347(24)00081-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.03.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEvolutionary pathways can be random or deterministic. In a recent article, Beavan et al. investigate this balance by applying machine learning models to microbial pangenomes. The presence of almost one-third of genes can be reliably inferred, indicating a surprising amount of predictable evolution.PMID:38580497 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.03.008
