Horizontal gene transfer dynamics and distribution of fitness effects during microbial <it>in silico </it>evolution
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a process that facilitates the transfer of genetic material between organisms that are not directly related, and thus can affect both the rate of evolution and emergence of traits. Recent phylogeneti...
