In bacteria, recombination is a rare event, not a part of the reproductive process. Nevertheless, recombination—broadly defined to include the acquisition of genes from external sources, i.e., horizontal gene transfer (HGT)—plays a central role as a source of variation for adaptive evolution in many...
