Horizontal gene transfer in plants [PDF]
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played a major role in bacterial evolution and is fairly common in certain unicellular eukaryotes. However, the prevalence and importance of HGT in the evolution of multicellular eukaryotes remain unclear. Recent studies indicate that plant mitochondrial genomes are unusually active in HGT relative to all other ...

Horizontal gene transfer in the phytosphere [PDF]
Summary Here, 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.

Horizontal gene transfer for recombining graphs [PDF]
AbstractWe introduce a form of neutral horizontal gene transfer (HGT) to evolving graphs by graph programming (EGGP). We introduce the$$\mu \times \lambda$$μ×λevolutionary algorithm (EA), where$$\mu$$μparents each produce$$\lambda$$λchildren who compete only with their parents.

Detecting Highways of Horizontal Gene Transfer [PDF]
In a horizontal gene transfer (HGT) event, a gene is transferred between two species that do not have an ancestor-descendant relationship. Typically, no more than a few genes are horizontally transferred between any two species. However, several studies identified pairs of species between which many different genes were horizontally transferred. Such a

Horizontal gene transfer in plants [PDF]
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) describes the transmission of genetic material across species boundaries. HGT often occurs in microbic and eukaryotic genomes. However, the pathways by which HGTs occur in multicellular eukaryotes, especially in plants, are not well understood. We systematically summarized more than ten possible pathways for HGT.

Shaping the Landscape of Eukaryotic Gene Expression: Horizontal Gene Transfer
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,

Evolving graphs with horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
We introduce a form of neutral Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) to Evolving Graphs by Graph Programming (EGGP). We introduce the µ × λ evolutionary algorithm, where µ parents each produce λ children who compete with only their parents. HGT events then copy the entire active component of one surviving parent into the inactive component of another parent ...

Inter-species horizontal transfer resulting in core-genome and niche-adaptive variation within Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
Background Horizontal gene transfer is central to evolution in most bacterial species. The detection of exchanged regions is often based upon analysis of compositional characteristics and their comparison to the organism as a whole.

Evolution of substrate specificity in a recipient's enzyme following horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Despite the prominent role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in shaping bacterial metabolism, little is known about the impact of HGT on the evolution of enzyme function.
