Abstract excerpt

Natural DNA transformation is a lateral gene transfer mechanism during which bacteria take up naked DNA from their environment and stably integrate it in their genome. The proteins required for this process are conserved between species and are produced during a specific physiological state known as competence. Although natural transformation drives genome plasticity and adaptability, it is also likely to cause...
