The Modern Synthesis in Light of Microbial Genomics

Next steps

• Reread and take notes, esp. bibliography connections to de Queiroz, Rose/Oakley, etc.
  • LGT/HGT = lateral gene transfer = horizontal gene transfer
  • EGT = endosymbiotic gene transfer
  • MS = Modern Synthesis, mid-20th century NeoDarwinian Synthesis
  • EES = Extended Evolutionary Synthesis
  • TOL = Tree of Life
  • STOL = Statistical Tree of Life
  • BSC = Biological Species Concept
  • ANI = Average Nucleotide Identity
  • HR = Homologous Recombination
