The ecology of horizontal gene transfer.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jun 2026

Van Etten Julia, Johnson Matthew D

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) generates genetic variation in populations across all domains of life; however, most studies focus on individual transfers and functional information derived therefrom. This is useful but does not consider DNA transfer more broadly, that is, nongene transfers, donor-recipient dynamics, or trends and background levels that may help infer ecological information. Here, we review the...
