Widespread lateral gene transfer among grasses
2020-02-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Lateral gene transfer (LGT) has been documented in a broad range of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and it can promote adaptation. LGT of functional nuclear genes has been reported among some plants, but systematic studies are needed to assess the frequency and facilitators of LGT in the group. We scan the genomes of a diverse set of 17 grass species that span more than 50 million years of divergence...
