Horizontal gene transfer among host-associated microbes.
Cell Host and Microbe, 2023Horizontal gene transfer is an important evolutionary force, facilitating bacterial diversity. It is thought to be pervasive in host-associated microbiomes, where bacterial densities are high and mobile elements are frequent.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microplastics (MPs) are recognized as emerging contaminants and threats to global human health. Despite both of them being significantly detected in their "hotspots", i.e., waste activated sludge (WAS), rare studies

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) among diverse bacterial populations. Several studies have shown the presence of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids and integrons carrying

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) may be defined as any occurrence of heritable material passing between organisms, asynchronous with reproduction of the organisms. It represents replication of heritable material outside the context of parent to offspring (i.e. vertical) reproduction. Three types of evidence traditionally lead to claims of HGT.

Horizontal gene transfer of Fhb7 from fungus underlies Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat
Science, 2020Fungal disease meets its match Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by a fungus, reduces wheat crop yield and introduces toxins into the harvest. From the assembly of the genome of Thinopyrum elongatum, a wild relative of wheat used in breeding programs to

Horizontal gene transfer in yeasts
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2022Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), defined as the exchange of genetic material other than from parent to progeny, is very common in bacteria and appears to constitute the most important mechanism contributing to enlarge a species gene pool. However, in eukaryotes, HGT is certainly much less common and some early insufficiently consubstantiated cases ...

Livestock manure is an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Biochar and zeolite are commonly used to improve the quality of compost, however, little is known about the impacts of these additives on the fate of ARGs during composting

This review explores examples of horizontal genetic transfer in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The best understood of these involves various conserved families of transposable elements, but examples of non-transposable-element-based movement of genes or gene clusters have also been identified in prokaryotic genomes.

Horizontal gene transfer and phylogenetics
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003The initial analysis of complete genomes has suggested that horizontal gene transfer events are very frequent between microorganisms. This could potentially render the inference, and even the concept itself, of the organismal phylogeny impossible. However, a coherent phylogenetic pattern has recently emerged from an analysis of about a hundred genes ...
