The FDA assertion that horizontal gene transfer does not occur between transgenic ... In another set of experiments, the fate of plasmid DNA was monitored after being fed to mice 5,6.

I just think the lesson is that DNA really gets around. —Nancy Moran, University of Texas at Austin If Li had been studying bacteria, finding this kind of lateral or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) ...

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.
