Neighbor predation linked to natural competence fosters the transfer of large genomic regions in Vibrio cholerae

Natural competence for transformation is a primary mode of horizontal gene transfer. Competent bacteria are able to absorb free DNA from their surroundings and exchange this DNA against pieces of their own genome when sufficiently homologous. However, the prevalence of non-degraded DNA with sufficie...
