Population genomics has revolutionized our ability to study bacterial evolution by enabling
data-driven discovery of the genetic architecture of trait variation. Genome-wide association …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can allow traits that have evolved in one bacterial species to
transfer to another. This has potential to rapidly promote new adaptive trajectories such as …

Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are widespread post‐transcriptional regulators that control
bacterial stress responses and virulence. Nevertheless, little is known about how they arise …

Staphylococci are the most common cause of orthopedic device-related infections (ODRIs),
with Staphylococcus aureus responsible for a third or more of cases. This prospective …
