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 ...

Horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Journal of Genetics, 1996 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.

Ancient horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2003 The cornerstone of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is the vertical inheritance of traits from parent to offspring across successive generations. However, molecular evolutionary biologists have shown that extensive horizontal (also known as lateral) gene transfer (HGT) can occur between distantly related species.

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.

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 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.
