Lateral Transfer of Genes and Gene Fragments in Prokaryotes [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2009
Lateral genetic transfer (LGT) involves the movement of genetic material from one lineage into another and its subsequent incorporation into the new host genome via genetic recombination. Studies in individual taxa have indicated lateral origins for stretches of DNA of greatly varying length, from a few nucleotides to chromosome size. Here we analyze 1,

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.

Unique features of Entamoeba histolytica glycerophospholipid metabolism; has the E. histolytica lipid metabolism network evolved through gene loss and gain to enable parasitic life cycle adaptation?

mSphere, 2023
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, causes amoebiasis, which is a global public health problem. During the life cycle of this parasite, the properties of the cell membrane are changed markedly. To clarify the mechanism of membrane lipid changes,

Horizontal gene transfer from genetically modified plants - Regulatory considerations

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Gene technology regulators receive applications seeking permission for the environmental release of genetically modified (GM) plants, many of which possess beneficial traits such as improved production, enhanced nutrition and resistance to drought, pests

Inter-species horizontal transfer resulting in core-genome and niche-adaptive variation within Helicobacter pylori [PDF]

, 2005
Background Horizontal gene transfer is central to evolution in most bacterial species. The detection of exchanged regions is often based upon analysis of compositional characteristics and their comparison to the organism as a whole.

Horizontal gene transfer is not a hallmark of the human genome

Genome Biology, 2017
Crisp et al. recently reported that 145 human genes have been horizontally transferred from distant species. Here, I re-analyze those genes listed by Crisp et al.

Evolution of substrate specificity in a recipient's enzyme following horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

, 2013
Despite the prominent role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in shaping bacterial metabolism, little is known about the impact of HGT on the evolution of enzyme function.

The Xylella fastidosa RTX operons: evidence for the evolution of protein mosaics through novel genetic exchanges

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a gram negative bacterium inhabiting the plant vascular system. In most species this bacterium lives as a benign symbiote, but in several agriculturally important plants (e.g.

The Carbapenemase BKC-1 from Klebsiella pneumoniae Is Adapted for Translocation by Both the Tat and Sec Translocons

mBio, 2021
Bacteria can readily acquire plasmids via lateral gene transfer (LGT). These plasmids can carry genes for virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
