Detecting horizontal gene transfer with metagenomics co-barcoding sequencing

Microbiology Spectrum
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the process through which genetic information is transferred between different genomes and that played a crucial role in bacterial evolution.

Horizontal gene transfer: Its impacts and influences [PDF]

, 2018
2343-2352In genomic and biological evolution, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been highly debated. The idea of horizontal gene transfer is the non-genealogical transfer of genetic substances between all forms of organisms including the marine ...

Intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira share a partially conserved 26 kilobase genomic region with Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2008
Anaerobic intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira include both pathogenic and commensal species. The two best-studied members are the pathogenic species B. hyodysenteriae (the aetiological agent of swine dysentery) and B.

Horizontal Gene Transfer Observed in the Genus Vibrio [PDF]

, 2018
Horizontal gene transfer has had an enormous impact on the evolution of bacterial genomes. Typically, this event would be detected retrospectively, by incongruent phylogenetic trees or anomalous base composition.

Phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of Salmonella enterica virulence genes with regulatory feedback from the host

iMeta
Phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of virulence genes can enhance the transmission and pathogenicity of Salmonella enterica (S. enterica), a process potentially regulated by its regulatory mechanisms.

Double-stranded DNA viruses may serve as vectors for horizontal transfer of intron-generating transposons

Mobile DNA
Specialized transposable elements capable of generating introns, termed introners, are one of the major drivers of intron gain in eukaryotes. Horizontal transfer of transposable elements (HTT) is thought to play an important role in shaping introner ...
