Horizontal Gene Transfer Involving Chloroplasts [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT)- is defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism. However, recent findings indicate a possible role of HGT in the acquisition of traits with adaptive significance, suggesting that HGT is an important

Horizontal gene transfer in chromalveolates [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the non-genealogical transfer of genetic material between different organisms, is considered a potentially important mechanism of genome evolution in eukaryotes. Using phylogenomic analyses of expressed sequence

Predicting horizontal gene transfers with perfect transfer networks
Algorithms for Molecular BiologyBackground Horizontal gene transfer inference approaches are usually based on gene sequences: parametric methods search for patterns that deviate from a particular genomic signature, while phylogenetic methods use sequences to reconstruct the gene and ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Biofilms
Antibiotics, 2023 Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it hinders the treatment of infections with antibiotics due to the ...

Horizontal gene transfer from genetically modified plants - Regulatory considerations
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Gene technology regulators receive applications seeking permission for the environmental release of genetically modified (GM) plants, many of which possess beneficial traits such as improved production, enhanced nutrition and resistance to drought, pests
