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 ...

Amino acid sequence associated with bacteriophage recombination site helps to reveal genes potentially acquired through horizontal gene transfer

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,

Adsorption and Oxidation of Aromatic Amines on Metal(II) Hexacyanocobaltate(III) Complexes: Implication for Oligomerization of Exotic Aromatic Compounds

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,

Evolving graphs with horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 2019
We introduce a form of neutral Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) to Evolving Graphs by Graph Programming (EGGP). We introduce the µ × λ evolutionary algorithm, where µ parents each produce λ children who compete with only their parents. HGT events then copy the entire active component of one surviving parent into the inactive component of another parent ...

Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]

, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...

Detecting horizontal gene transfer: a probabilistic approach

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the event of a DNA sequence being transferred between species not by inheritance. HGT is a crucial factor in prokaryotic evolution and is a significant source for genomic novelty resulting in antibiotic ...

Evolution of substrate specificity in a recipient's enzyme following horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

, 2013
Despite the prominent role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in shaping bacterial metabolism, little is known about the impact of HGT on the evolution of enzyme function.

Cloning and Characterization of Pectate Lyases Expressed in the Esophageal Gland of the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
Two pectate lyase genes (Bx-pel-1 and Bx-pel-2) were cloned from the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xy-lophilus. The deduced amino acid sequences of these pectate lyases are most similar to polysaccharide lyase family 3 proteins.
