Mechanisms of, and Barriers to, Horizontal Gene Transfer between Bacteria (2005, background): “Whereas fragments of DNA of a size that could encode entire protein-coding regions are recombined by homologous recombination at frequencies that have been estimated to be proportional to sequence divergence, there are few estimates for the frequency at which short linear DNA fragments of a few bp t”
Cycling of extracellular DNA in the soil environment (2007, background): “Although natural transformation of recombinant DNA from transgenic plants to endogenous soil bacteria has not been detected in vivo, current methods have not been sufficiently sensitive to monitor such low frequency events (Heinemann and Traavik, 2004).”
