Evolution by Pervasive Gene Fusion in Antibiotic Resistance and Antibiotic Synthesizing Genes
Phylogenetic (tree-based) approaches to understanding evolutionary history are unable to incorporate convergent evolutionary events where two genes merge into one. In this study, as exemplars of what can be achieved when a tree is not assumed a priori, we have analysed the evolutionary histories of...
