Temperate phages acquire DNA from defective prophages by relaxed homologous recombination: the role of Rad52-like recombinases.

PLoS genetics - 1 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophages (or phages) dominate the biosphere both numerically and in terms of genetic diversity. In particular, genomic comparisons suggest a remarkable level of horizontal gene transfer among temperate phages, favoring a high evolution rate. Molecular mechanisms of this pervasive mosaicism are mostly unknown. One hypothesis is that phage encoded recombinases are key players in these horizontal transfers,...
