Modeling suggests frequency estimates are not informative for predicting the long-term effect of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important mechanism by which bacteria recombine and acquire novel genes and functions. Risk scenarios where novel plant transgenes transfer horizontally into bacteria have been addressed in numerical theoretical assessments and experimental studies. A key outcome...
