Nonselective Bottlenecks Control the Divergence and Diversification of Phase-Variable Bacterial Populations

ABSTRACT Phase variation occurs in many pathogenic and commensal bacteria and is a major generator of genetic variability. A putative advantage of phase variation is to counter reductions in variability imposed by nonselective bottlenecks during transmission. Genomes of Campylobacter jejuni, a wides...
