Horizontal gene transfer is not a hallmark of the human genome
Genome Biology, 2017 Crisp et al. recently reported that 145 human genes have been horizontally transferred from distant species. Here, I re-analyze those genes listed by Crisp et al.

Experimental determination of evolutionary barriers to horizontal gene transfer
BMC Microbiology, 2020 Background Horizontal gene transfer, the acquisition of genes across species boundaries, is a major source of novel phenotypes that enables microbes to rapidly adapt to new environments.

Surfactin Facilitates Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bacillus subtilis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Genetic competence for the uptake and integration of extracellular DNA is a key process in horizontal gene transfer (HGT), one of the most powerful forces driving the evolution of bacteria. In several species, development of genetic competence is coupled

Horizontal Gene Transfer: From Evolutionary Flexibility to Disease Progression
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Flexibility in the exchange of genetic material takes place between different organisms of the same or different species. This phenomenon is known to play a key role in the genetic, physiological, and ecological performance of the host.

Horizontal gene transfer from Agrobacterium to plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Most genetic engineering of plants uses Agrobacterium mediated transformation to introduce novel gene content. In nature, insertion of T-DNA in the plant genome and its subsequent transfer via sexual reproduction has been shown in several species in the ...

LINE-1 retrotransposons facilitate horizontal gene transfer into poxviruses
eLife, 2022 There is ample phylogenetic evidence that many critical virus functions, like immune evasion, evolved by the acquisition of genes from their hosts through horizontal gene transfer (HGT).
