Explore the widespread occurrence of selective sweeps in human gut microbiomes through this 24-minute conference talk from the Computational Genomics Summer Institute. Delve into the evolutionary dynamics of microbial populations within the human digestive system, examining how selective pressures shape the genetic diversity of gut bacteria. Learn about the mechanisms driving rapid genetic changes in microbiome communities and discover how these selective sweeps influence microbial adaptation and population structure. Gain insights into computational approaches used to detect and analyze these evolutionary events across different human populations, and understand the implications for microbiome stability, host-microbe interactions, and human health outcomes.
