The Impact of Lateral Gene Transfer in Chlamydia [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Lateral gene transfer (LGT) facilitates many processes in bacterial ecology and pathogenesis, especially regarding pathogen evolution and the spread of antibiotic resistance across species.

Probabilistic inference of lateral gene transfer events. [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2016 Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is an evolutionary process that has an important role in biology. It challenges the traditional binary tree-like evolution of species and is attracting increasing attention of the molecular biologists due to its involvement in antibiotic resistance.

Lateral gene transfer, rearrangement, reconciliation. [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2013 Models of ancestral gene order reconstruction have progressively integrated different evolutionary patterns and processes such as unequal gene content, gene duplications, and implicitly sequence evolution via reconciled gene trees. These models have so far ignored lateral gene transfer, even though in unicellular organisms it can have an important ...

Characterization of an ancient lepidopteran lateral gene transfer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Bacteria to eukaryote lateral gene transfers (LGT) are an important potential source of material for the evolution of novel genetic traits. The explosion in the number of newly sequenced genomes provides opportunities to identify and characterize ...

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.

Aphids acquired symbiotic genes via lateral gene transfer [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2009 Background Aphids possess bacteriocytes, which are cells specifically differentiated to harbour the obligate mutualist Buchnera aphidicola (γ-Proteobacteria). Buchnera has lost many of the genes that appear to be essential for bacterial life.

Grafting or pruning in the animal tree: lateral gene transfer and gene loss? [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Lateral gene transfer (LGT), also known as horizontal gene transfer, into multicellular eukaryotes with differentiated tissues, particularly gonads, continues to be met with skepticism by many prominent evolutionary and genomic biologists.

Unconventional lateral gene transfer in extreme thermophilic bacteria [PDF]
International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology, 2011 Conjugation and natural competence are two major mechanisms that explain the acquisition of foreign genes throughout bacterial evolution. In recent decades, several studies in model organisms have revealed in great detail the steps involved in such ...
