Gene Pool Innovations

Gene pool Innovations

In biological systems, changing innovations can spread not only from parent to offspring (i.e. vertical transmission), but also ‘horizontally’ between respective, who may or may not be related. Nowhere is this more apparent than in bacteria, where novel ecological feature can spread rapidly within and between species through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). This important evolutionary process is predominantly a by-product of the infectious spread ofmobile genetic elements (MGEs). We will discuss the ecological conditions that favour the spread of traits by HGT, the evolutionary and social consequences of sharing traits, andhowHGTis shaped by inherent conflicts between bacteria andMGEs. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Process and pattern in innovations from cells to societies’. © 2017 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society. All rights reserved.
