Horizontal gene transfer in the phytosphere [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2003 SummaryHere, the ecological aspects of gene transfer processes between bacteria in the phytosphere are examined in the context of emerging evidence for the dominant role that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played in the evolutionary shaping of bacterial communities.

Horizontal gene transfer for recombining graphs [PDF]
Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, 2020 AbstractWe introduce a form of neutral horizontal gene transfer (HGT) to evolving graphs by graph programming (EGGP). We introduce the$$\mu \times \lambda$$μ×λevolutionary algorithm (EA), where$$\mu$$μparents each produce$$\lambda$$λchildren who compete only with their parents.

Detecting Highways of Horizontal Gene Transfer [PDF]
Journal of Computational Biology, 2011 In a horizontal gene transfer (HGT) event, a gene is transferred between two species that do not have an ancestor-descendant relationship. Typically, no more than a few genes are horizontally transferred between any two species. However, several studies identified pairs of species between which many different genes were horizontally transferred. Such a

Horizontal gene transfer in plants [PDF]
Functional & Integrative Genomics, 2013 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) describes the transmission of genetic material across species boundaries. HGT often occurs in microbic and eukaryotic genomes. However, the pathways by which HGTs occur in multicellular eukaryotes, especially in plants, are not well understood. We systematically summarized more than ten possible pathways for HGT.

NEW CODING SEQUENCES FORMATION BY VIRUSES WITH THE HELP OF HORIZONTAL TRANSFER AND GENE DUPLICATION [PDF]
Annals of Mechnikov's Institute, 2019 Besides the gene co-optation discusses in the previous article, viruses are able to form the cellular genome through horizontal gene transfer and by the copy number increase of the cellular genes with the help of amplification or retrocopies production ...

The Routes of Emergence of Life from LUCA during the RNA and Viral World: A Conspectus
Life, 2015 How did life emerge on Earth? The aim of the Network of Researchers on Horizontal Gene Transfer and the Last Universal Cellular Ancestor (NoR HGT & LUCA) is to understand how the genetics of LUCAs were reorganised prior to the advent of the three ...

BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Background Horizontal gene transfer, i.e. the acquisition of genetic material from nonparent organism, is considered an important force driving species evolution. Many cases of horizontal gene transfer from prokaryotes to eukaryotes have been registered,

Inorganics, 2017 Based on the hypothesis on the presence of double metal cyanides in the primordial oceans, a series of nano-sized metal(II) hexacyanocobaltate(III) (MHCCo) with the general formula: M3[Co(CN)6]2•xH2O (where M = Zn, Fe, Ni and Mn) has been synthesized ...

Shaping the Landscape of Eukaryotic Gene Expression: Horizontal Gene Transfer
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in prokaryotes refers to the movement of genes and genetic information between two organisms. This usually results in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria. Vertical gene transfer(VGT), on the other hand,

Widespread of horizontal gene transfer in the human genome
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background A fundamental concept in biology is that heritable material is passed from parents to offspring, a process called vertical gene transfer. An alternative mechanism of gene acquisition is through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which involves ...
