Horizontal gene transfers as metagenomic gene duplications
Molecular BioSystems, 2012While it is well accepted that horizontal gene transfer plays an important role in the evolution and the diversification of prokaryotic genomes, many questions remain open regarding its functional mechanisms of action and its interplay with the extant genome.

Processes leading to the acquisition of one or more genes from a different species are reviewed for bacteria and metazoans. Evolutionary benefits related to different categories of transferred genes through acquisition and insertion mechanisms are discussed.

Horizontal gene transfers in insects
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015Horizontal 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.

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Choanoflagellates
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2012AbstractHorizontal 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.

Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2005
In this paper the conception of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) was introduced,and main mode of HGT was also enumerated as follows: HGT by medium such as plasmid and virus etc., and the HGT without any medium. The transfer of genes from one species to another especially between remote species was emphasized by the information from genome sequencing. The

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Cyanobacterial Signature Genes
2009Comparison of 15 phylogenetically diverse cyanobacterial genomes identified an updated list of 183 signature genes that are widely found in cyanobacteria but absent in non-cyanobacterial species. These signature genes comprise the unique portion of the core cyanobacterial phenotype, and their absence from other lineages implies that if they arose by ...

Agrobacterium-Mediated Horizontal Gene Transfer
1998Tumor- and root-inducing Agrobacterium species (e.g., A. tumefaciens, A. rhizogenes, A. vitis, A. rubi) mediate the transfer of a specific genetic element into plants. This element, known as the T-DNA, is a specific segment of a large resident Ti (or Ri depending on the species) plasmid, and is processed and transferred by protein products encoded by ...
