Detecting Horizontal Gene Transfer by Mapping Sequencing Reads Across Species Boundaries

2016-02-11

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a fundamental mechanism that enables organisms such as bacteria to directly transfer genetic material between distant species. This way, bacteria can acquire new traits such as antibiotic resistance or pathogenic toxins. Current bioinfor-matics approaches focus on the detection of past HGT events by exploring phylogenetic trees or genome composition inconsistencies. However, this...
