Horizontal gene transfers as metagenomic gene duplications
Molecular BioSystems, 2012While it is well accepted that horizontal gene transfer plays an important role in the evolution and the diversification of prokaryotic genomes, many questions remain open regarding its functional mechanisms of action and its interplay with the extant genome.

Monitoring and modeling horizontal gene transfer
Nature Biotechnology, 2004Monitoring efforts have failed to identify horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events occurring from transgenic plants into bacterial communities in soil or intestinal environments. The lack of such observations is frequently cited in biosafety literature and by regulatory risk assessment.

Hosts, parasites, and horizontal gene transfer
Trends in Parasitology, 2013Mendelian inheritance transfers genes vertically within lineages, whereas horizontal gene transfer (HGT) moves genetic material between or among lineages. Herein, we explore possible mechanisms of HGT between parasites and their hosts, as their intimate contact affords substantial opportunities for HGT.

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Cyanobacterial Signature Genes
2009Comparison of 15 phylogenetically diverse cyanobacterial genomes identified an updated list of 183 signature genes that are widely found in cyanobacteria but absent in non-cyanobacterial species. These signature genes comprise the unique portion of the core cyanobacterial phenotype, and their absence from other lineages implies that if they arose by ...

Processes leading to the acquisition of one or more genes from a different species are reviewed for bacteria and metazoans. Evolutionary benefits related to different categories of transferred genes through acquisition and insertion mechanisms are discussed.

Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2005
In this paper the conception of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) was introduced,and main mode of HGT was also enumerated as follows: HGT by medium such as plasmid and virus etc., and the HGT without any medium. The transfer of genes from one species to another especially between remote species was emphasized by the information from genome sequencing. The

Exploring the costs of horizontal gene transfer
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2013Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is one of the most important evolutionary forces within microbial populations. Although evidence for beneficial fitness effects of HGT is overwhelming, recently acquired regions often function inefficiently within new genomic backgrounds so that each transfer event has the potential to disrupt existing regulatory and ...

Agrobacterium-Mediated Horizontal Gene Transfer
1998Tumor- and root-inducing Agrobacterium species (e.g., A. tumefaciens, A. rhizogenes, A. vitis, A. rubi) mediate the transfer of a specific genetic element into plants. This element, known as the T-DNA, is a specific segment of a large resident Ti (or Ri depending on the species) plasmid, and is processed and transferred by protein products encoded by ...
