Functional and Evolutionary Characterization of a Gene Transfer Agent’s Multilocus “Genome”

Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are phage-like particles that can package and transfer a random piece of the producing cell’s genome, but are unable to transfer all the genes required for their own production. As such, GTAs represent an evolutionary conundrum: are they selfish genetic elements propagati...
