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

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

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.

Is cooperation favored by horizontal gene transfer? [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2023 Abstract 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. However, we show theoretically that horizontal gene transfer only appreciably increases relatedness when ...

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 ...

Horizontal Gene Transfers in Plants [PDF]
Life, 2021 In plants, as in all eukaryotes, the vertical transmission of genetic information through reproduction ensures the maintenance of the integrity of species. However, many reports over the past few years have clearly shown that horizontal gene transfers, referred to as HGTs (the interspecific transmission of genetic information across reproductive ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Biofilms
Antibiotics, 2023 Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it hinders the treatment of infections with antibiotics due to the ...
