Exploring the costs of horizontal gene transfer.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Aug 2013

Baltrus David A

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is one of the most important evolutionary forces within microbial populations. Although evidence for beneficial fitness effects of HGT is overwhelming, recently acquired regions often function inefficiently within new genomic backgrounds so that each transfer event has the potential to disrupt existing regulatory and physiological networks. Identifying and exploring costs is...
