Gene-specific selective sweeps in bacteria and archaea caused by negative frequency-dependent selection

BACKGROUND: Fixation of beneficial genes in bacteria and archaea (collectively, prokaryotes) is often believed to erase pre-existing genomic diversity through the hitchhiking effect, a phenomenon known as genome-wide selective sweep. Recent studies, however, indicate that beneficial genes spread thr...
