An Evolutionary Link between Natural Transformation and CRISPR Adaptive Immunity
ABSTRACT Natural transformation by competent bacteria is a primary means of horizontal gene transfer; however, evidence that competence drives bacterial diversity and evolution has remained elusive. To test this theory, we used a retrospective comparative genomic approach to analyze the evolutionary...
