Rare Events of Intragenus and Intraspecies Horizontal Transfer of the 16S rRNA Gene.

Genome biology and evolution - 27 Jul 2015

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of operational genes has been widely reported in prokaryotic organisms. However, informational genes such as those involved in transcription and translation processes are very difficult to be horizontally transferred, as described by Woese's complexity hypothesis. Here, we analyzed all of the completed prokaryotic genome sequences (2,143 genomes) in the NCBI (National Center for...
