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

Perinatal Gene Transfer to the Liver [PDF]

, 2011
The liver acts as a host to many functions hence raising the possibility that any one may be compromised by a single gene defect. Inherited or de novo mutations in these genes may result in relatively mild diseases or be so devastating that death within

Direct in vivo gene transfer to the airway epithelium employing adenovirus-polylysine-DNA complexes [PDF]

, 1993
Adenovirus-polylysine-DNA complexes were evaluated for their capacity to accomplish direct in vivo gene transfer to airway epithelium employing a rodent model.

Evolution of prokaryotic SPFH proteins. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: The SPFH protein superfamily is a diverse family of proteins whose eukaryotic members are involved in the scaffolding of detergent-resistant microdomains. Recently the origin of the SPFH proteins has been questioned.

Widespread lateral gene transfer among grasses [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary Lateral 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 ...

Gene flow and biological conflict systems in the origin and evolution of eukaryotes

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
The endosymbiotic origin of eukaryotes brought together two disparate genomes in the cell. Additionally, eukaryotic natural history has included other endosymbiotic events, phagotrophic consumption of organisms, and intimate interactions with viruses and
