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.

Microbial evolution through horizontal gene transfer by mobile genetic elements
Microbial BiotechnologyMobile genetic elements (MGEs) are crucial for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in bacteria and facilitate their rapid evolution and adaptation.

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 ...

Staphylococcus aureus temperate bacteriophage: carriage and horizontal gene transfer is lineage associated. [PDF]
, 2012 Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of human and animal infections. Bacteriophage are a class of mobile genetic element (MGE) that carry virulence genes and disseminate them horizontally, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), the immune evasion

Horizontal gene transfer in plants [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2006 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played a major role in bacterial evolution and is fairly common in certain unicellular eukaryotes. However, the prevalence and importance of HGT in the evolution of multicellular eukaryotes remain unclear. Recent studies indicate that plant mitochondrial genomes are unusually active in HGT relative to all other ...

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.

Horizontal gene transfer-mediated bacterial strain variation affects host fitness in Drosophila
BMC Biology, 2021 Background How microbes affect host fitness and environmental adaptation has become a fundamental research question in evolutionary biology. To better understand the role of microbial genomic variation for host fitness, we tested for associations of ...

The infinitely many genes model with horizontal gene transfer
, 2014 The genome of bacterial species is much more flexible than that of eukaryotes. Moreover, the distributed genome hypothesis for bacteria states that the total number of genes present in a bacterial population is greater than the genome of every single ...

Nature CommunicationsHorizontal gene transfer (HGT) and gene duplication are often considered as separate mechanisms driving the evolution of new functions. However, the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) implicated in HGT can copy themselves, so positive selection on MGEs could
