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 ...

Horizontal gene transfer in trypanosomatids
Trends in Parasitology, 2007Trypanosomes harbour a large number of structural and biochemical peculiarities. Kinetoplast DNA, mitochondrial RNA editing, the sequestration of glycolysis inside glycosomes and unique oxidative-stress protection mechanisms (to name but a few) are found only in the members of the order Kinetoplastida. Thus, it is not surprising that they have provoked

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.

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.

Horizontal gene transfers in insects
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material across species boundaries. Although horizontal gene transfers are relatively rare in animals, the recent rapid accumulation of genomic data has identified increasing amounts of exogenous DNA inserts in insect genomes.

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Choanoflagellates
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2012AbstractHorizontal gene transfer (HGT), also known as lateral gene transfer, results in the rapid acquisition of genes from another organism. HGT has long been known to be a driving force in speciation in prokaryotes, and there is evidence for HGT from symbiotic and infectious bacteria to metazoans, as well as from protists to bacteria.
