Horizontal transfer of short and degraded DNA has evolutionary implications for microbes and eukaryotic sexual reproduction
Horizontal gene transfer in the form of long DNA fragments has changed our view of bacterial evolution. Recently, we discovered that such processes may also occur with the massive amounts of short and damaged DNA in the environment, and even with truly ancient DNA. Although it presently remains uncl...
