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

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.

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).

CRISPR loci reveal networks of gene exchange in archaea

Biology Direct, 2011
Background CRISPR (Clustered, Regularly, Interspaced, Short, Palindromic Repeats) loci provide prokaryotes with an adaptive immunity against viruses and other mobile genetic elements.

Inter-genomic displacement via lateral gene transfer of bacterial trp operons in an overall context of vertical genealogy

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.

Within-species lateral genetic transfer and the evolution of transcriptional regulation in Escherichia coli and Shigella

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Changes in transcriptional regulation underlie many of the phenotypic differences observed within and between species of bacteria. Lateral genetic transfer (LGT) can significantly impact the transcription factor (TF) genes which drive these ...

SiPhyNetwork: An R package for simulating phylogenetic networks

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Gene flow is increasingly recognized as an important macroevolutionary process. The many mechanisms that contribute to gene flow (e.g. introgression, hybridization, lateral gene transfer) uniquely affect the diversification of dynamics of species, making
