the process of joining pieces of DNA from different sources the process in which genes are transferred from one bacterium to another as "naked" DNA in solution gene transfer that requires cell-to-cell contact the transfer of DNA from one cell to another by a bacteriophage a small circular DNA molecule that replicates independently of the chromosome

Genome sequences show that some pathogenic bacteria contain virulence genes that promote disease next to genes that originally came from bacteriophage. Why does this result suggest horizontal gene transfer, and what would the mechanism of transfer have been?
