Biased gene transfer and its implications for the concept of lineage.

Biology direct - 23 Sept 2011

Andam Cheryl P, Gogarten J Peter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In the presence of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the concepts of lineage and genealogy in the microbial world become more ambiguous because chimeric genomes trace their ancestry from a myriad of sources, both living and extinct. RESULTS: We present the evolutionary histories of three aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) to illustrate that the concept of organismal lineage in the prokaryotic world is...
