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.

Pathways for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria revealed by a global map of their plasmids
Nature Communications, 2020 Plasmids can mediate horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and other adaptive factors across bacterial populations. Here, we analyze genomic composition and pairwise sequence identity for over 10,000 reference plasmids to ...

Modeling, Simulation and Application of Bacterial Transduction in Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
, 2009 At present, all methods in Evolutionary Computation are bioinspired in the fundamental principles of neo-Darwinism as well as on a vertical gene transfer. Thus, on a mechanism in which an organism receives genetic material from its ancestor.

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

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).
