Synthetic Fatty Acids Prevent Plasmid-Mediated Horizontal Gene Transfer

mBio, 2015
Bacterial conjugation constitutes a major horizontal gene transfer mechanism for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes among human pathogens.

Vertical and horizontal gene transfer in lichens [PDF]

, 2013
Lichens are symbiotic organisms, which consist of a mycobiont (fungus) and a photobiont (green alga or cyanobacteria). They inhabit a wide range of ecological niches.

Prokaryotic ancestry and gene fusion of a dual localized peroxiredoxin in malaria parasites

Microbial Cell, 2015
Horizontal gene transfer has emerged as a crucial driving force for the evolution of eukaryotes. This also includes Plasmodium falciparum and related economically and clinically relevant apicomplexan parasites, whose rather small genomes have been shaped

Horizontal transfer of a ß-1,6-glucanase gene from an ancestral species of fungal endophyte to a cool-season grass host

Scientific Reports, 2017
Molecular characterisation has convincingly demonstrated some types of horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotes, but nuclear gene transfer between distantly related eukaryotic groups appears to have been rare.

Gene transfer: anything goes in plant mitochondria

BMC Biology, 2010
Parasitic plants and their hosts have proven remarkably adept at exchanging fragments of mitochondrial DNA. Two recent studies provide important mechanistic insights into the pattern, process and consequences of horizontal gene transfer, demonstrating ...

Rapid disease emergence through horizontal gene transfer between eukaryotes. [PDF]

, 2006
Among different species of eukaryotes, the extent and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer remains poorly understood. A newly published study by Friesen and colleagues indicates that a recent gene transfer between two species of fungi ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer: Accidental Inheritance Drives Adaptation [PDF]

, 2014
SummaryFew facts in biology are more certain than offspring inheriting genetic material from their parents, but not all genes are acquired this way. A new report documents the horizontal transfer of a potentially adaptive gene between distantly related ...
