Estimating the fitness effect of an insertion sequence [PDF]
, 2018 Since its discovery, mobile DNA has fascinated researchers. In particular, many researchers have debated why insertion sequences persist in prokaryote genomes and populations.

Eco-evolutionary Dynamics Linked to Horizontal Gene Transfer in Vibrios.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2018 Vibrio is a genus of ubiquitous heterotrophic bacteria found in aquatic environments. Although they are a small percentage of the bacteria in these environments, vibrios can predominate during blooms.

Horizontal gene transfer allowed the emergence of broad host range entomopathogens
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Recently emerged fungal diseases are contributing toward global declines in wildlife, but the mechanisms for emergence of new pathogenic fungi remain mysterious. The entomopathogen Metarhizium robertsii evolved from plant symbionts, and here

Gene transfer: anything goes in plant mitochondria
BMC Biology, 2010 Parasitic plants and their hosts have proven remarkably adept at exchanging fragments of mitochondrial DNA. Two recent studies provide important mechanistic insights into the pattern, process and consequences of horizontal gene transfer, demonstrating ...

Scientific Reports, 2019 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is widespread in the evolution of prokaryotes, especially those associated with the human body. Here, we implemented large-scale gene-species phylogenetic tree reconstructions and reconciliations to identify putative HGT ...

Exosome-mediated horizontal gene transfer occurs in double-strand break repair during genome editing
Communications Biology, 2019 The CRISPR-Cas9 system has been successfully applied in many organisms as a powerful genome-editing tool. Undoubtedly, it will soon be applied to human genome editing, including gene therapy.
