Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy - Nature Communications It is commonly thought that bacterial species borders tend to be fuzzy, due to frequent exchange of DNA. Here, Diop et al. quantify the patterns of gene flow between core genomes across 50 major bacte...
