Lateral Transfer of the lux Gene Cluster
Journal of Biochemistry, 2006The lux operon is an uncommon gene cluster. To find the pathway through which the operon has been transferred, we sequenced the operon and both flanking regions in four typical luminous species. In Vibrio cholerae NCIMB 41, a five-gene cluster, most genes of which were highly similar to orthologues present in Gram-positive bacteria, along with the lux ...

Phage as agents of lateral gene transfer
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003When establishing lysogeny, temperate phages integrate their genome as a prophage into the bacterial chromosome. Prophages thus constitute in many bacteria a substantial part of laterally acquired DNA. Some prophages contribute lysogenic conversion genes that are of selective advantage to the bacterial host.

Lateral gene transfer in eukaryotes
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2005Lateral gene transfer -- the transfer of genetic material between species -- has been acknowledged as a major mechanism in prokaryotic genome evolution for some time. Recently accumulating data indicate that the process also occurs in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes. However, there are large rate variations between groups of eukaryotes; animals and

Lateral and oblique gene transfer
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2001Sequence information from complete genomes, and from multiple loci of strains within species, is transforming the way that we investigate the evolution of bacteria. Such large-scale assessments of bacterial genomes have provided evidence of extensive gene transfer and exchange.

Lateral Gene Transfer Contributing to Leukemogenesis
Blood, 2015Abstract The uncontrolled proliferation of genetically mutated cells is the commonly understood mechanism for cancer growth and invasion, with accumulation of new mutations in daughter cells leading to clonal diversity of cancer derived from a single founding event.

Lateral Gene Transfer or Viral Colonization?
Science, 2001S. L. Salzberg and colleagues reexamined data that had been published by the international human genome sequencing group in which it appeared that between 113 and 223 genes were present in the human genome but were absent from lower eukaryotes ( Caenorhabditis elegans, Saccharomyces cerrevisiae, Drosophila melanogaster, Arabidopsis thaliana ) (Reports,

Lateral gene transfer in phylogeny of azoreductase enzyme
Computational Biology and Chemistry, 2008This paper attempts to reconstruct the phylogeny of azoreductase enzyme from different organisms and compare it with the small subunit rRNA-based phylogeny of the organisms. The two phylogenies were found to be incongruent, indicating several events of lateral transfer of azoreductase gene between phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Lateral gene transfer challenges principles of microbial systematics
Trends in Microbiology, 2008Evolutionists strive to learn about the natural historical process that gave rise to various taxa, while also attempting to classify them efficiently and make generalizations about them. The quantitative importance of lateral gene transfer inferred from genomic data, although well acknowledged by microbiologists, is in conflict with the conceptual ...

Detection of lateral gene transfer among microbial genomes
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2001An increasingly comprehensive assessment is being developed of the extent and potential significance of lateral gene transfer among microbial genomes. Genomic sequences can be identified as being of putatively lateral origin by their unexpected phyletic distribution, atypical sequence composition, differential presence or absence in closely related ...

Thermotoga heats up lateral gene transfer.
Current biology : CB, 2000The complete sequence of the bacterium Thermotoga maritima genome has revealed a large fraction of genes most closely related to those of archaeal species. This adds to the accumulating evidence that lateral gene transfer is a potent evolutionary force in prokaryotes, though questions of its magnitude remain.
