Duplicated antibiotic resistance genes reveal ongoing selection and horizontal gene transfer in bacteria

Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and gene duplication are often considered as separate mechanisms driving the evolution of new functions. However, the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) implicated in HGT can copy themselves, so positive selection on MGEs could drive gene duplications. Here, we us...
