Population genetic parameters usually apply to small chromosomal regions rather than to
the genome as a whole, although genes do not always descend independently of their
surroundings. The genome of Escherichia coli strikes me as an unusually favorable theater
in which to observe the lineages of genes and their relationships with the evolutionary
processes that operate at the population level.
