Definitions:

Genetic Markers

Specific DNA sequences that can be identified and used to track genetic differences or diseases within a population.

Smaller Genomes

Refers to the complete set of genetic material within an organism that is notably compact. Smaller genomes are often found in bacteria and some eukaryotes, which may lead to benefits such as faster replication rates.

Hosts

Organisms or cells that serve as a home or living environment for parasitic entities, viruses, or another type of microorganism.

Free-Living Bacteria

Bacteria that survive and reproduce in natural environments without relying on a host organism for survival.
