Assessing the benefits of horizontal gene transfer by laboratory evolution and genome sequencing
BACKGROUND: Recombination is widespread across the tree of life, because it helps purge deleterious mutations and creates novel adaptive traits. In prokaryotes, it often takes the form of horizontal gene transfer from a donor to a recipient bacterium. While such transfer is widespread in natural com...
