A substantial amount of genetic information is inserted into or deleted from such genomes through the process of horizontal transfer. Through the introduction of novel physiological traits from distantly related organisms, horizontal gene transfer often causes drastic changes in the ecological and ...

Attempting to trace a common or single origin of a specific ppk gene may be unrealistic, particularly in light of the complex evolution of algae with the potential for secondary horizontal gene transfer events [33]. There are only two convincing eukaryote PPK2s found on the Interpro database ...
33,34,35,36,37,38. The conjugative apparatus also allows for the transfer of other genetic material, known as mobile genetic elements. In general, horizontal gene transfer through conjugation is specific to a small set of specialized gene products, although some broad range conjugative systems ...
Only more recently has it been considered that transformation may be a powerful mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in natural bacterial populations. In this review the current understanding of the biology of transformation is summarized to provide the platform on which aspects of bacterial ...
To reveal the impact of genome streamlining on cellular traits, we reduced the Escherichia coli genome by up to 20% by deleting regions which have been repeatedly subjects of horizontal transfer in nature. Unexpectedly, horizontally transferred genes not only confer utilization of specific nutrients ...
(see section on single nucleotide polymorphism typing below). Lerat et al. developed a genome-based approach to resolve the phylogeny of the γ-Proteobacteria exhibiting high frequency of horizontal gene transfer. The study demonstrates that gene orthologues among γ-Proteobacteria are able to yield ...
The horizontal transfer of plasmids has been recognized as one of the key drivers for the worldwide spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across bacterial pathogens. However, knowledge remain limited about the contribution made by environmental stress
