Gene transfer, speciation, and the evolution of bacterial genomes.

Current opinion in microbiology - 1 Oct 1999

Lawrence J G

Abstract excerpt

Studies in microbial evolution have focused on the origin and vertical transmission of genetic variation within populations experiencing limited recombination. Genomic analyses have highlighted the importance of horizontal genetic transfer in shaping the composition of microbial genomes, providing novel metabolic capabilities, and catalyzing the diversification of bacterial lineages.
