Is cooperation favored by horizontal gene transfer? [PDF]
, 2023 It has been hypothesized that horizontal gene transfer on plasmids can facilitate the evolution of cooperation, by allowing genes to jump between bacteria, and hence increase genetic relatedness at the cooperative loci.

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 ...

Horizontal transfer beyond genes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major process in the evolution of bacteria and archaea (1⇓–3) that is thought to be the principal source of functional innovation in microbial evolution (4, 5). The signal of vertical, tree-like evolution is detectable primarily among genes encoding components of information processing systems, whereas evolution of ...

Natural convection heat transfer from two horizontal cylinders [PDF]
, 2008 Natural convection heat transfer from a single horizontal cylinder and a pair of vertically aligned horizontal cylinders is investigated. Surface heat transfer distributions around the circumference of the cylinders are presented for Rayleigh numbers of ...

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).

Lateral gene transfer between prokaryotes and multicellular eukaryotes: ongoing and significant? [PDF]
, 2009 The expansion of genome sequencing projects has produced accumulating evidence for lateral transfer of genes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. However, it remains controversial whether these genes are of functional importance in their recipient

Horizontal gene transfer in fungi [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2011 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is frequently observed in prokaryotes and until recently was assumed to be of limited importance to eukaryotes. However, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that HGT is an important mechanism in eukaryotic genome evolution, particularly in unicellular organisms.

Mechanisms of Horizontal Gene Transfer
, 2017 Horizontal gene transfer plays important roles in the evolution of S. aureus, and indeed, a variety of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes are embedded in a series of mobile genetic elements.
