Anna Dewar @annadewar.bsky.social asks what types of genes get horizontally transferred in bacteria 🦠🧬➡️🧬🦠
Contrary to previous thinking, plasmids didn't carry more cooperation genes than the core genome.

Humans have made a profound impact on the genome of S. cerevisiae
And commercial baking strains are super weird!

Not accounting for codon evolution?
You may end up with large amounts of false positives in tests for selection!
