Impact of Homologous Recombination on the Evolution of Prokaryotic Core Genomes

ABSTRACT Homologous recombination (HR) enables the exchange of genetic material between and within species. Recent studies suggest that this process plays a major role in the microevolution of microbial genomes, contributing to core genome homogenization and to the maintenance of cohesive population...
