Horizontal gene transfer contributed to the evolution of extracellular surface structures [PDF]

, 2012
The single-cell layered ectoderm of the fresh water polyp Hydra fulfills the function of an epidermis by protecting the animals from the surrounding medium.

Horizontal Gene Transfers in Mycoplasmas (Mollicutes) [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2018
The class Mollicutes (trivial name "mycoplasma") is composed of wall-less bacteria with reduced genomes whose evolution was long thought to be only driven by gene losses. Recent evidences of massive horizontal gene transfer (HGT) within and across species provided a new frame to understand the successful adaptation of these minimal bacteria to a broad ...

HgtSIM: a simulator for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in microbial communities [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The development and application of metagenomic approaches have provided an opportunity to study and define horizontal gene transfer (HGT) on the level of microbial communities.

Surfactin Facilitates Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bacillus subtilis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Genetic competence for the uptake and integration of extracellular DNA is a key process in horizontal gene transfer (HGT), one of the most powerful forces driving the evolution of bacteria. In several species, development of genetic competence is coupled

Horizontal gene transfer from Agrobacterium to plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Most genetic engineering of plants uses Agrobacterium mediated transformation to introduce novel gene content. In nature, insertion of T-DNA in the plant genome and its subsequent transfer via sexual reproduction has been shown in several species in the ...

Improved gene tree error correction in the presence of horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

, 2014
Motivation: The accurate inference of gene trees is a necessary step in many evolutionary studies. Although the problem of accurate gene tree inference has received considerable attention, most existing methods are only applicable to gene families ...

LINE-1 retrotransposons facilitate horizontal gene transfer into poxviruses

eLife, 2022
There is ample phylogenetic evidence that many critical virus functions, like immune evasion, evolved by the acquisition of genes from their hosts through horizontal gene transfer (HGT).

Horizontal transfer beyond genes [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major process in the evolution of bacteria and archaea (1⇓–3) that is thought to be the principal source of functional innovation in microbial evolution (4, 5). The signal of vertical, tree-like evolution is detectable primarily among genes encoding components of information processing systems, whereas evolution of ...
