Chromosome architecture constrains horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Despite significant frequencies of lateral gene transfer between species, higher taxonomic groups of bacteria show ecological and phenotypic cohesion. This suggests that barriers prevent panmictic dissemination of genes via lateral gene transfer. We have

Horizontal Gene Transfers in Mycoplasmas (Mollicutes) [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2018 The class Mollicutes (trivial name "mycoplasma") is composed of wall-less bacteria with reduced genomes whose evolution was long thought to be only driven by gene losses. Recent evidences of massive horizontal gene transfer (HGT) within and across species provided a new frame to understand the successful adaptation of these minimal bacteria to a broad ...

The distribution of plasmids that carry virulence and resistance genes in Staphylococcus aureus is lineage associated. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is major human and animal pathogen. Plasmids often carry resistance genes and virulence genes that can disseminate through S. aureus populations by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms. Sequences of S.

Horizontal transfer, not duplication, drives the expansion of protein families in prokaryotes. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 Gene duplication followed by neo- or sub-functionalization deeply impacts the evolution of protein families and is regarded as the main source of adaptive functional novelty in eukaryotes.

Horizontal gene transfer depends on gene content of the host [PDF]
, 2005 Horizontal gene transfer is a major contributor to the evolution of bacterial genomes. We examine this process through a combination of comparative genomics and in silico analysis of the Escherichia coli metabolic network.

Role of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bacteria [PDF]
, 2018 This paper documents an overview on the current knowledge of gene transfer in bacteria with emphasis on the role of horizontal gene transfer, in contrast to the numerous gaps in our understanding of Bacterial gene expression.
