Inferring horizontal gene transfer.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Horizontal or Lateral Gene Transfer (HGT or LGT) is the transmission of portions of genomic DNA between organisms through a process decoupled from vertical inheritance.

Horizontal Gene Transfer Involving Chloroplasts [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT)- is defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism. However, recent findings indicate a possible role of HGT in the acquisition of traits with adaptive significance, suggesting that HGT is an important

The chromosomal organization of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Bacterial adaptation is accelerated by the acquisition of novel traits through horizontal gene transfer, but the integration of these genes affects genome organization.

Horizontal gene transfer in chromalveolates [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the non-genealogical transfer of genetic material between different organisms, is considered a potentially important mechanism of genome evolution in eukaryotes. Using phylogenomic analyses of expressed sequence

Bacterial cooperation through horizontal gene transfer. [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2021 Cooperation exists across all scales of biological organization, from genetic elements to complex human societies. Bacteria cooperate by secreting molecules that benefit all individuals in the population (i.e., public goods). Genes associated with cooperation can spread among strains through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). We discuss recent findings on

Topological data analysis captures horizontal gene transfer in antimicrobial resistance gene families among clinically relevant bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyAntibiotic resistance, projected to cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050, remains a critical health threat. Hospitals drive multidrug resistance via horizontal gene transfer.

Bacterial evolution in the oral microbiome: the role of conjugative elements and horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyAs one of the most diverse bacterial populations within the human body, the oral microbiome encodes a wealth of genetic information. Horizontal gene transfer, driven by mobile genetic elements, takes advantage of this information to influence bacterial ...

Horizontal gene transfer of molecular weapons can reshape bacterial competition. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyBacteria commonly use molecular weaponry to kill or inhibit competitors. Genes encoding many weapons and their associated immunity mechanisms can be transmitted horizontally.

Predicting horizontal gene transfers with perfect transfer networks
Algorithms for Molecular BiologyBackground Horizontal gene transfer inference approaches are usually based on gene sequences: parametric methods search for patterns that deviate from a particular genomic signature, while phylogenetic methods use sequences to reconstruct the gene and ...
