2022年8月4日 · Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important evolutionary force shaping prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. HGT-acquired genes have been sporadically reported in insects, a lineage containing >50% of animals.

2024年1月23日 · Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or lateral gene transfer, is the non-sexual movement of genetic information between genomes. It has played a pronounced part in bacterial and...

2020年10月1日 · Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the movement of genetic material across branches of the tree of life, is well established in prokaryotes and uncontroversial. This is explained in part by relatively compact prokaryote genomes that facilitate assembly and gene prediction, resulting in thousands of complete genomes for analysis.

2021年10月22日 · We find that functional content accurately predicts the HGT network [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) = 0.983], and performance improves further (AUROC = 0.990) for transfers involving antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), highlighting the importance of HGT machinery, niche-specific, and metabolic functions.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), also known as lateral gene transfer, refers to the movement of genetic information across normal mating barriers, between more...

2021年12月31日 · The exchange of genes between viruses and eukaryotes through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a key evolutionary driver capable of facilitating host manipulation and viral resistance 1, 2, 3, 4....

2020年3月5日 · Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the event of a DNA sequence being transferred between species not by inheritance. HGT is a crucial factor in prokaryotic evolution and is a significant source for genomic novelty resulting in antibiotic …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important driver in genome evolution, gain-of-function, and metabolic adaptation to environmental niches. Genome-wide identification of putative HGT events has become increasingly practical, given the rapid growth of genomic data.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), an important evolutionary mechanism observed in prokaryotes, is the transmission of genetic material across phylogenetically distant species. In recent years, the availability of complete genomes has facilitated the ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) (see Glossary) is the nonlineal movement of genetic material across the web of life that creates reticulate gene phylogenies. This process is of high interest be-cause it can drive functional innovation through the introduction of novel genes and pathways [1].
