Recombination resolves the cost of horizontal gene transfer in experimental populations of Helicobacter pylori

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is important for microbial evolution, yet we know little about the fitness effects and dynamics of horizontally transferred genetic variants. In this study, we evolve laboratory populations of Helicobacter pylori, which take up DNA from their environment by natural tra...
