Evolution via recombination: Cell-to-cell contact facilitates larger recombination events in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Homologous recombination in the genetic transformation model organism Streptococcus pneumoniae is thought to be important in the adaptation and evolution of this pathogen. While competent pneumococci are able to scavenge DNA added to laboratory cultures, large-scale transfers of multiple kb are rare...
