Evolution of Bacterial Gene Transfer Agents
Bacterial gene transfer agents (GTAs) are small virus-like particles that package DNA fragments and inject them into cells. They are encoded by gene clusters resembling defective prophages, with genes for capsid head and tail components. These gene clusters are usually assumed to be maintained by se...
