Horizontal gene transfer dynamics and distribution of fitness effects during microbial in silico evolution.

BMC bioinformatics - 25 Jun 2012

Mozhayskiy Vadim, Tagkopoulos Ilias

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a process that facilitates the transfer of genetic material between organisms that are not directly related, and thus can affect both the rate of evolution and emergence of traits. Recent phylogenetic studies reveal HGT events are likely ubiquitous in the Tree of Life. However, our knowledge of HGT's role in evolution and biological organization is very limited,...
