“So as we sequence more and more and more diverse lineages, I think we’re going to find more and more cases.” Genetic studies have made it clear that eukaryotic horizontal gene transfer can and does ...

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 ...

that horizontal gene transfer between kingdoms could be a natural process. This idea was based on the numerous demonstrations that bacteria, fungi, and animal cells readily take up and express ...

For example, pectinases are enzymes that break down pectins ... "We were also able to demonstrate that horizontal gene transfer, a phenomenon that describes the incorporation of foreign genes from ...

These symbiotic relationships provide clues as to how genetic material was exchanged between bacteria and beetles. Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of ...

Even dead bacteria, it seemed, could share their genes. Almost all bacterial genomes show evidence of past LGT events, and the phenomenon is known to have profound effects on microbial biology. This ...

For example ... These sequences can be passed onto offspring, and they can also be shared with other bacterial cells through a process called horizontal gene transfer. Previous studies have ...

While genetic mutations and horizontal gene transfer ... making bacteria more susceptible to antibiotics. However, this is a ...

For example ... "We were also able to demonstrate that horizontal gene transfer, a phenomenon that describes the incorporation of foreign genes from bacteria into the genome, is quite common ...
