NO SPECIES BARRIER. “They conclude that inter-specific genetic exchange was a major evolutionary driver and that one species ( S. mitis ) provided the bulk of genetic variation for another species ( S. pneumoniae ). This is not an atypical finding. In prokaryotes, the bulk of new gene families arise via inter-species horizontal gene transfer, not intra-species gene duplication.”
