Horizontal Gene Transfer Regulation in Bacteria as a “Spandrel” of DNA Repair Mechanisms
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is recognized as the major force for bacterial genome evolution. Yet, numerous questions remain about the transferred genes, their function, quantity and frequency. The extent to which genetic transformation by exogenous DNA has occurred over evolutionary time was init...
