title: Modeling the mosaic structure of bacterial genomes to infer their evolutionary history
abstract: The timing and phylogeny of bacterial evolution is difficult to reconstruct because of a scarce fossil record, deep genomic divergences and complexities associated with molecular clocks. Studying bacterial evolutionary history using rich and rapidly accumulating genomic data requires accurate modeling of genome evolution, taking into account that different parts of bacterial genomes have different history. In particular, along the genome, different loci are subject to different selective pressur
