Inference of microbial recombination rates from metagenomic data.

Metagenomic sequencing projects from environments dominated by a small number of species produce genome-wide population samples. We present a two-site composite likelihood estimator of the scaled recombination rate, rho = 2N(e)c, that operates on metagenomic assemblies in which each sequenced fragme...
