When bacterial DNA invades cells, does it have the code to adapt to its new environment?

A team from the Institut Pasteur used a combination of molecular biology, genomics and artificial chromosomes, aided by artificial intelligence (AI), to explore how a DNA molecule behaves when it enters the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. Their research, published recently in the prestigious journal Science, reveals that the DNA's fate differs considerably depending on its sequence composition.
