BROAD VARIABILITY. “The niches created by gene transfer events vary widely in their stability or novelty. Some events, like the acquisition of an antibiotic resistance gene, allow for transient exploration of a new environment, but this lineage may not persist over evolutionary time (that is, this event will likely not found a clade of antibiotic-resistant bacteria distinguished by their shared ability to be resistant to a particular antibiotic).”
