Differences in lateral gene transfer in hypersaline versus thermal environments [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background The role of lateral gene transfer (LGT) in the evolution of microorganisms is only beginning to be understood. While most LGT events occur between closely related individuals, inter-phylum and inter-domain LGT events are not uncommon.
