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 ...

Horizontal gene transfer in bacteria: an ecological and evolutionary perspective
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2000 In recent years, molecular genetics and genome analysis provided extensive evidence that gene loss and acquisition are likely to be the primary mechanisms by which bacteria genetically adapt to novel or changed environments and by which bacterial ...

Phytoplankton pangenome reveals extensive prokaryotic horizontal gene transfer of diverse functions
Science Advances, 2020 Bacterial horizontal gene transfer provides functions that help explain the evolutionary success of aquatic primary producers. The extent and role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in phytoplankton and, more broadly, eukaryotic evolution remain ...

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 and the History of Life [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2016 Microbes acquire DNA from a variety of sources. The last decades, which have seen the development of genome sequencing, have revealed that horizontal gene transfer has been a major evolutionary force that has constantly reshaped genomes throughout evolution. However, because the history of life must ultimately be deduced from gene phylogenies, the lack
