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 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

Widespread of horizontal gene transfer in the human genome
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background A fundamental concept in biology is that heritable material is passed from parents to offspring, a process called vertical gene transfer. An alternative mechanism of gene acquisition is through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which involves ...

Experimental determination of evolutionary barriers to horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2020 Background Horizontal gene transfer, the acquisition of genes across species boundaries, is a major source of novel phenotypes that enables microbes to rapidly adapt to new environments.

, 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 ...

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 ...

Indirect identification of horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2021 Abstract Several 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.
