HgtSIM: a simulator for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in microbial communities [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The development and application of metagenomic approaches have provided an opportunity to study and define horizontal gene transfer (HGT) on the level of microbial communities.

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).

Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]
, 2014 Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...

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 ...

Orientation of Fitch Graphs and Detection of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Gene Trees [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer events partition a gene tree $T$ and thus, its leaf set into subsets of genes whose evolutionary history is described by speciation and duplication events alone. Indirect phylogenetic methods can be used to infer such partitions $\mathcal{P}$ from sequence similarity or evolutionary distances without any a priory knowledge ...

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 ...

Horizontal gene transfer in silkworm,
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is the model insect for the order Lepidoptera, has economically important values, and has gained some representative behavioral characteristics compared to its wild ancestor. The genome of B.

Lateral gene exchanges shape the genomes of amoeba-resisting microorganisms
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012 Based on Darwin’s concept of the tree of life, vertical inheritance was thought to be dominant, and mutations, deletions and duplication were streaming the genomes of living organisms.

Impact of the horizontal gene transfer on the evolutionary equilibria of a population [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 How does the interplay between selection, mutation and horizontal gene transfer modify the phenotypic distribution of a bacterial or cell population? While horizontal gene transfer, which corresponds to the exchange of genetic material between individuals, has a major role in the adaptation of many organisms, its impact on the phenotypic density of ...
