Horizontally acquired AT-rich genes in Escherichia coli cause toxicity by sequestering RNA polymerase
Horizontal gene transfer permits rapid dissemination of genetic elements between individuals in bacterial populations. Transmitted DNA sequences may encode favourable traits. However, if the acquired DNA has an atypical base composition, it can reduce host fitness. Consequently, bacteria have evolve...
