THE MODULAR THEORY “of phage evolution states that evolution takes place through the transfer of exchangeable units that might consist only of protein domains rather than of whole genes or transcriptional units. Module exchange occurs at frequencies higher than or equal to the mutation rate, and it thus offers an enhanced genetic adaptation efficiency relative to evolution by linear descent.”
