Mineral Facilitated Horizontal Gene Transfer: A New Principle for Evolution of Life?
A number of studies have highlighted that adsorption to minerals increases DNA longevity in the environment. Such DNA-mineral associations can essentially serve as pools of genes that can be stored across time. Importantly, this DNA is available for incorporation into alien organisms through the pro...
