Multiple pathways of plasmid DNA transfer in Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
, 2012 Many Helicobacter pylori (Hp) strains carry cryptic plasmids of different size and gene content, the function of which is not well understood. A subgroup of these plasmids (e.g.

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 ...

The worldwide holoparasitic Apodanthaceae confidently placed in the Cucurbitales by nuclear and mitochondrial gene trees [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Of the c. 450 families of flowering plants, only two are left “unplaced” in the most recent APG classification of angiosperms. One of these is the Apodanthaceae, a clade of c. 19 holoparasitic species in two or three genera occurring in North

Horizontal gene transfer in silkworm,
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is the model insect for the order Lepidoptera, has economically important values, and has gained some representative behavioral characteristics compared to its wild ancestor. The genome of B.

Horizontal gene transfer-mediated bacterial strain variation affects host fitness in Drosophila
BMC Biology, 2021 Background How microbes affect host fitness and environmental adaptation has become a fundamental research question in evolutionary biology. To better understand the role of microbial genomic variation for host fitness, we tested for associations of ...

Is cooperation favored by horizontal gene transfer?
, 2023 It has been hypothesized that horizontal gene transfer on plasmids can facilitate the evolution of cooperation, by allowing genes to jump between bacteria, and hence increase genetic relatedness at the cooperative loci.

Mechanisms of Horizontal Gene Transfer
, 2017 Horizontal gene transfer plays important roles in the evolution of S. aureus, and indeed, a variety of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes are embedded in a series of mobile genetic elements.

Lateral gene exchanges shape the genomes of amoeba-resisting microorganisms
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012 Based on Darwin’s concept of the tree of life, vertical inheritance was thought to be dominant, and mutations, deletions and duplication were streaming the genomes of living organisms.
