Abstract excerpt
Species evolution has long been associated exclusively with vertical gene transfer, making genetic variability a result of recombination and spontaneous mutations. Although long considered exclusive to prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT), plays an important evolutionary role even in complex eukaryotic lineages. This process can generate novel functions in the host, proving evolutionary paths not predicted...
