Genetics of gene transfer between species
Trends Genet.
1991 Jun.
Abstract
Bacteria transfer genetic information to members of at least three of the five biological kingdoms. Gene transfer between species may play the same role as sex between members of a single species, providing genetic diversity and material for repair of genomic damage.
