Abstract

Over the past decade, sequence differences between microbes from various geographical areas have been studied with the intent to interpret population movements of their hosts. An organism that is a reliable storehouse of such data, by virtue of its long association with its human host, is Helicobacter pylori. Functional and comparative analyses of its genome provide fascinating insights into human behaviour in the ancient past.

摘要

在过去十年中，人们对来自不同地理区域的微生物之间的序列差异进行了研究，目的是解读其宿主的种群迁移情况。幽门螺杆菌凭借其与人类宿主的长期关联，成为了这类数据的可靠储存库。对其基因组的功能和比较分析为了解古代人类行为提供了引人入胜的见解。
