Manipulating or Superseding Host Recombination Functions: A Dilemma That Shapes Phage Evolvability

Phages, like many parasites, tend to have small genomes and may encode autonomous functions or manipulate those of their hosts'. Recombination functions are essential for phage replication and diversification. They are also nearly ubiquitous in bacteria. The E. coli genome encodes many copies o...
