Bdelloid rotifers deploy horizontally acquired biosynthetic genes against a fungal pathogen
Coevolutionary antagonism generates relentless selection that can favour genetic exchange, including transfer of antibiotic synthesis and resistance genes among bacteria, and sexual recombination of disease resistance alleles in eukaryotes. We report an unusual link between biological conflict and D...
