Horizontal gene transfer and phylogenetics

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003
The initial analysis of complete genomes has suggested that horizontal gene transfer events are very frequent between microorganisms. This could potentially render the inference, and even the concept itself, of the organismal phylogeny impossible. However, a coherent phylogenetic pattern has recently emerged from an analysis of about a hundred genes ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, 2002
The second edition of Horizontal Gene Transfer has been organized to provide a concise and up-to-date coverage of the most important discoveries in this fascinating field. Written by the most prominent gene transfer and genome analytical scientists, this

Horizontal gene transfer in yeasts

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2022
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), defined as the exchange of genetic material other than from parent to progeny, is very common in bacteria and appears to constitute the most important mechanism contributing to enlarge a species gene pool. However, in eukaryotes, HGT is certainly much less common and some early insufficiently consubstantiated cases ...

Horizontal gene transfer in trypanosomatids

Trends in Parasitology, 2007
Trypanosomes harbour a large number of structural and biochemical peculiarities. Kinetoplast DNA, mitochondrial RNA editing, the sequestration of glycolysis inside glycosomes and unique oxidative-stress protection mechanisms (to name but a few) are found only in the members of the order Kinetoplastida. Thus, it is not surprising that they have provoked

Horizontal Gene Transfer

open access: yes, 2009
Phylogenomic methods can be used to investigate the tangled evolutionary relationships among genomes. Building ‘all the trees of all the genes’ can potentially identify common pathways of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among taxa at varying levels of ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Choanoflagellates

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2012
AbstractHorizontal gene transfer (HGT), also known as lateral gene transfer, results in the rapid acquisition of genes from another organism. HGT has long been known to be a driving force in speciation in prokaryotes, and there is evidence for HGT from symbiotic and infectious bacteria to metazoans, as well as from protists to bacteria.

Ancient horizontal gene transfer

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2003
The cornerstone of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is the vertical inheritance of traits from parent to offspring across successive generations. However, molecular evolutionary biologists have shown that extensive horizontal (also known as lateral) gene transfer (HGT) can occur between distantly related species.

Horizontal gene transfers in insects

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material across species boundaries. Although horizontal gene transfers are relatively rare in animals, the recent rapid accumulation of genomic data has identified increasing amounts of exogenous DNA inserts in insect genomes.
