Horizontal gene transfer-mediated bacterial strain variation affects host fitness in Drosophila
BMC Biology, 2021 Background How microbes affect host fitness and environmental adaptation has become a fundamental research question in evolutionary biology. To better understand the role of microbial genomic variation for host fitness, we tested for associations of ...

The mechanisms underpinning lateral gene transfer between grasses
Plants, People, Planet, 2023 Societal Impact Statement Lateral gene transfer (LGT) refers to the transmission of genetic material without sexual reproduction. LGT is widespread in a number of plant species, including grasses.

Lateral gene transfer from the dead. [PDF]
Syst Biol, 2013 In phylogenetic studies, the evolution of molecular sequences is assumed to have taken place along the phylogeny traced by the ancestors of extant species. In the presence of lateral gene transfer (LGT), however, this may not be the case, because the species lineage from which a gene was transferred may have gone extinct or not have been sampled ...

Patterns in evolutionary origins of heme, chlorophyll a and isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic pathways suggest non-photosynthetic periods prior to plastid replacements in dinoflagellates [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background The ancestral dinoflagellate most likely established a peridinin-containing plastid, which have been inherited in the extant photosynthetic descendants.

Lateral gene transfer between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. [PDF]
Exp Cell Res, 2017 Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is an all-encompassing term for the movement of DNA between diverse organisms. LGT is synonymous with horizontal gene transfer, and the terms are used interchangeably throughout the scientific literature. While LGT has been recognized within the bacteria domain of life for decades, inter-domain LGTs are being increasingly ...
