Highways of gene sharing in prokaryotes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 4 Oct 2005

Beiko Robert G, Harlow Timothy J, Ragan Mark A

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which lateral genetic transfer has shaped microbial genomes has major implications for the emergence of community structures. We have performed a rigorous phylogenetic analysis of >220,000 proteins from genomes of 144 prokaryotes to determine the contribution of gene sharing to current prokaryotic diversity, and to identify "highways" of sharing between lineages. The inferred relationships suggest a...
