Widespread inter- and intra-domain horizontal gene transfer of d-amino acid metabolism enzymes in eukaryotes [PDF]

, 2016
Analysis of the growing number of available fully-sequenced genomes has shown that Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) in eukaryotes is more common than previously thought.

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.

Adaptive evolution of hybrid bacteria by horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance In a parallel evolution experiment, we probe lateral gene transfer between two Bacillus subtilis lineages close to the species boundary. We show that laboratory evolution by horizontal gene transfer can rapidly generate hybrid organisms with

Horizontal gene transfer in chromalveolates

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the non-genealogical transfer of genetic material between different organisms, is considered a potentially important mechanism of genome evolution in eukaryotes. Using phylogenomic analyses of expressed sequence

Detecting horizontal gene transfer: a probabilistic approach

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the event of a DNA sequence being transferred between species not by inheritance. HGT is a crucial factor in prokaryotic evolution and is a significant source for genomic novelty resulting in antibiotic ...

Systematic detection of horizontal gene transfer across genera among multidrug-resistant bacteria in a single hospital

eLife, 2020
Multidrug-resistant bacteria pose a serious health threat, especially in hospitals. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) facilitates the spread of antibiotic resistance, virulence, and environmental persistence genes between ...

Widespread impact of horizontal gene transfer on plant colonization of land [PDF]

, 2012
In complex multicellular eukaryotes such as animals and plants, horizontal gene transfer is commonly considered rare with very limited evolutionary significance.

Cloning and Characterization of Pectate Lyases Expressed in the Esophageal Gland of the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
Two pectate lyase genes (Bx-pel-1 and Bx-pel-2) were cloned from the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xy-lophilus. The deduced amino acid sequences of these pectate lyases are most similar to polysaccharide lyase family 3 proteins.

Inferring horizontal gene transfer.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Horizontal or Lateral Gene Transfer (HGT or LGT) is the transmission of portions of genomic DNA between organisms through a process decoupled from vertical inheritance.
