Horizontal Gene Transfer
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic information between organisms, a process that includes the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria (except for those from parent to offspring), fueling pathogen evolution. Many resistance genes evolved long ago in natural environments with no anthropogenic influence but these genes are now rapidly spreading to and among huma...
متن کاملInferring Horizontal Gene Transfer
Horizontal or Lateral Gene Transfer (HGT or LGT) is the transmission of portions of genomic DNA between organisms through a process decoupled from vertical inheritance. In the presence of HGT events, different fragments of the genome are the result of different evolutionary histories. This can therefore complicate the investigations of evolutionary relatedness of lineages and species. Also, as ...

Journal of Cell Science 124, 2676 © 2011. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi:10.1242/jcs.095059 There was an error published in J. Cell Sci. 124, 157-160. During the course of creating the accompanying poster, pseudocolored fluorescent protein fusion images from previous publications were used to define the layout. Many of these images were inadvertently not replaced with a similar ...
متن کاملCRISPR interference limits horizontal gene transfer in staphylococci by targeting DNA.
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in bacteria and archaea occurs through phage transduction, transformation, or conjugation, and the latter is particularly important for the spread of antibiotic resistance. Clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) loci confer sequence-directed immunity against phages. A clinical isolate of Staphylococcus epidermidis harbors a CRISPR spac...
متن کاملCRISPR-Cas-Mediated Phage Resistance Enhances Horizontal Gene Transfer by Transduction
A powerful contributor to prokaryotic evolution is horizontal gene transfer (HGT) through transformation, conjugation, and transduction, which can be advantageous, neutral, or detrimental to fitness. Bacteria and archaea control HGT and phage infection through CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated proteins) adaptive immunity. Although the benefi...
