Horizontal Gene Transfer, Dispersal and Haloarchaeal Speciation [PDF]
Life, 2015 The Halobacteria are a well-studied archaeal class and numerous investigations are showing how their diversity is distributed amongst genomes and geographic locations.

Nature Communications, 2022 In this work, the authors determine the crystal structure of a ProQ/FinO RNA chaperone bound to its RNA target. This provides insight into how this family of bacterial proteins recognize transcriptional terminator structures.

Indirect identification of horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2021 AbstractSeveral implicit methods to infer horizontal gene transfer (HGT) focus on pairs of genes that have diverged only after the divergence of the two species in which the genes reside. This situation defines the edge set of a graph, the later-divergence-time (LDT) graph, whose vertices correspond to genes colored by their species.

Horizontal gene transfer in the phytosphere [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2003 SummaryHere, the ecological aspects of gene transfer processes between bacteria in the phytosphere are examined in the context of emerging evidence for the dominant role that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played in the evolutionary shaping of bacterial communities.

Scientific Reports, 2023 The foodborne bacterium Staphylococcus equorum strain KS1030 harbours plasmid pSELNU1, which encodes a lincomycin resistance gene. pSELNU1 undergoes horizontal transfer between bacterial strains, thus spreading antibiotic resistance.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) drives microbial adaptation but is often under the control of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) whose interests are not necessarily aligned with those of their hosts.

bioRxiv, 2021 Gram-negative bacteria release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) into the extracellular environment. Recent studies recognized these vesicles as vectors to horizontal gene transfer, however the parameters that mediate OMVs transfer within bacterial ...

The Routes of Emergence of Life from LUCA during the RNA and Viral World: A Conspectus
Life, 2015 How did life emerge on Earth? The aim of the Network of Researchers on Horizontal Gene Transfer and the Last Universal Cellular Ancestor (NoR HGT & LUCA) is to understand how the genetics of LUCAs were reorganised prior to the advent of the three ...

Pathways for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria revealed by a global map of their plasmids
Nature Communications, 2020 Plasmids can mediate horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and other adaptive factors across bacterial populations. Here, we analyze genomic composition and pairwise sequence identity for over 10,000 reference plasmids to ...
