NEW CODING SEQUENCES FORMATION BY VIRUSES WITH THE HELP OF HORIZONTAL TRANSFER AND GENE DUPLICATION [PDF]
Annals of Mechnikov's Institute, 2019 Besides the gene co-optation discusses in the previous article, viruses are able to form the cellular genome through horizontal gene transfer and by the copy number increase of the cellular genes with the help of amplification or retrocopies production ...

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 ...

BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Background Horizontal gene transfer, i.e. the acquisition of genetic material from nonparent organism, is considered an important force driving species evolution. Many cases of horizontal gene transfer from prokaryotes to eukaryotes have been registered,

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.

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 ...

Shaping the Landscape of Eukaryotic Gene Expression: Horizontal Gene Transfer
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in prokaryotes refers to the movement of genes and genetic information between two organisms. This usually results in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria. Vertical gene transfer(VGT), on the other hand,

A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Horizontal transfer beyond genes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major process in the evolution of bacteria and archaea (1⇓–3) that is thought to be the principal source of functional innovation in microbial evolution (4, 5). The signal of vertical, tree-like evolution is detectable primarily among genes encoding components of information processing systems, whereas evolution of ...
