Metacommunity structure preserves genome diversity in the presence of gene-specific selective sweeps under moderate rates of horizontal gene transfer.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2023
The horizontal transfer of genes is fundamental for the eco-evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities, such as oceanic plankton, soil, and the human microbiome.

Horizontal gene transfer in evolution [PDF]

, 2015
The concept of horizontal or lateral gene transfer (the non‐genealogical transmission of genetic material between organisms) was introduced in 1990s to explain the observed incongruence in phylogenetic reconstructions using different genes.

Horizontal gene transfer of microbial cellulases into nematode genomes is associated with functional assimilation and gene turnover

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Natural acquisition of novel genes from other organisms by horizontal or lateral gene transfer is well established for microorganisms. There is now growing evidence that horizontal gene transfer also plays important roles in the evolution of ...

Evidence of Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer Between Humans and Plasmodium vivax [PDF]

, 2011
The horizontal transfer of DNA between different organisms is a major force shaping the genomes of prokaryotes, but is considered to have a minor role in eukaryotes, with only a handful of known examples, mostly of limited size.

The chromosomal organization of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria [PDF]

, 2017
International audienceBacterial adaptation is accelerated by the acquisition of novel traits through horizontal gene transfer, but the integration of these genes affects genome organization. We found that transferred genes are concentrated in only ~1% of

Topological data analysis captures horizontal gene transfer in antimicrobial resistance gene families among clinically relevant bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology
Antibiotic resistance, projected to cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050, remains a critical health threat. Hospitals drive multidrug resistance via horizontal gene transfer.

Horizontal Gene Transfer From Agrobacteria To Plants [PDF]

, 2006
Horizontal gene transfer is transfer of genetic material between organisms, which could not be termed as progenitor and ancestor. There is some data, that some plants contain in their genomes sequences, homologous to T-dNa from agrobacteria.

Horizontal gene transfer and cooperation in bacteria [PDF]

, 2022
Bacteria are capable of a wide range of cooperative behaviours. It has been suggested that horizontal gene transfer, which is common in bacteria, could help to stabilise cooperation and prevent the invasion of non-cooperative cheats.

A non-sense mutation in the putative anti-mutator gene ada/alkA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis isolates suggests convergent evolution [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Previous studies have suggested that variations in DNA repair genes of W-Beijing strains may have led to transient mutator phenotypes which in turn may have contributed to host adaptation of this strain family. Single nucleotide polymorphism (
