Widespread lateral gene transfer among grasses [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 SummaryLateral gene transfer (LGT) has been documented in a broad range of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and it can promote adaptation. LGT of functional nuclear genes has been reported among some plants, but systematic studies are needed to assess the frequency and facilitators of LGT in the group.We scan the genomes of a diverse set of 17 grass species

Evidence for the intense exchange of MazG in marine cyanophages by horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
, 2008 Background: S-PM2 is a phage capable of infecting strains of unicellular cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Synechococcus. S-PM2, like other myoviruses infecting marine cyanobacteria, encodes a number of bacterial-like genes. Amongst these genes is one

Patterns of prokaryotic lateral gene transfers affecting parasitic microbial eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2013 Background: The influence of lateral gene transfer on gene origins and biology in eukaryotes is poorly understood compared with those of prokaryotes.

The chemostat with lateral gene transfer [PDF]
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2010 We investigate the standard chemostat model when lateral gene transfer is taken into account. We will show that when the different genotypes have growth rate functions that are sufficiently close to a common growth rate function, and when the yields of the genotypes are sufficiently close to a common value, then the population evolves to a globally ...

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

Inferring Species Trees from Incongruent Multi-Copy Gene Trees Using the Robinson-Foulds Distance [PDF]
, 2012 We present a new method for inferring species trees from multi-copy gene trees. Our method is based on a generalization of the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance to multi-labeled trees (mul-trees), i.e., gene trees in which multiple leaves can have the same ...

Genome-scale phylogenetic analysis finds extensive gene transfer among Fungi [PDF]
, 2015 Although the role of lateral gene transfer is well recognized in the evolution of bacteria, it is generally assumed that it has had less influence among eukaryotes.

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.

BMC Biology, 2004 Background The growing conviction that lateral gene transfer plays a significant role in prokaryote genealogy opens up a need for comprehensive evaluations of gene-enzyme systems on a case-by-case basis.

Quantifying the Extent of Lateral Gene Transfer Required to Avert a `Genome of Eden' [PDF]
, 2009 The complex pattern of presence and absence of many genes across different species provides tantalising clues as to how genes evolved through the processes of gene genesis, gene loss and lateral gene transfer (LGT).
