    "abstract": "We study the role of recombination, as practiced by genetically-competent\nbacteria, in speeding up Darwinian evolution. This is done by adding a new\nprocess to a previously-studied Markov model of evolution on a smooth fitness\nlandscape; this new process allows alleles to be exchanged with those in the\nsurrounding medium. Our results, both numerical and analytic, indicate that for\na wide range of intermediate population sizes, recombination dramatically\nspeeds up the evolutionary advance.",
