Untangling hybrid phylogenetic signals: Horizontal gene transfer and artifacts of phylogenetic reconstruction

, 2009
Phylogenomic methods can be used to investigate the tangled evolutionary relationships among genomes. Building ‘all the trees of all the genes’ can potentially identify common pathways of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among taxa at varying levels of ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer and the History of Life [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2016
Microbes acquire DNA from a variety of sources. The last decades, which have seen the development of genome sequencing, have revealed that horizontal gene transfer has been a major evolutionary force that has constantly reshaped genomes throughout ...

Bacterial evolution in the oral microbiome: the role of conjugative elements and horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology
As 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 ...

Predicting horizontal gene transfers with perfect transfer networks

Algorithms for Molecular Biology
Background 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 transfer of molecular weapons can reshape bacterial competition. [PDF]

PLoS Biology
Bacteria commonly use molecular weaponry to kill or inhibit competitors. Genes encoding many weapons and their associated immunity mechanisms can be transmitted horizontally.

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 ...

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.

Structural basis for recognition of transcriptional terminator structures by ProQ/FinO domain RNA chaperones

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.

Horizontal gene transfer of conjugative transposons Tn916

上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2022
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) greatly improves the adaptability of bacteria to the environment, and promotes the evolution of bacteria. Genomic islands (GEIs) are the gene fragments obtained by HGT in prokaryotes.
