The gossip paradox: Why do bacteria share genes?

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE - 28 Mar 2022

Jamieson-Lane Alastair D, Blasius Bernd

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria, in contrast to eukaryotic cells, contain two types of genes: chromosomal genes that are fixed to the cell, and plasmids, smaller loops of DNA capable of being passed from one cell to another. The sharing of plasmid genes between individual bacteria and between bacterial lineages has contributed vastly to bacterial evolution, allowing specialized traits to 'jump ship' between one lineage or species and...
