Evolutionary constraints imposed by gene dosage balance.
The gene dosage balance hypothesis states that a concentration imbalance among components of macromolecules is often deleterious. Thus this notion potentially provides a mechanistic explanation for understanding genetic dominance and gene duplicability. Accumulating evidence emerged from recent genomic data has strongly supported this hypothesis. Further efforts are needed to understand dosage ...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Evolutionary Ecology
The biological world, especially its majority microbial component, is strongly interacting and may be dominated by collective effects. In this review, we provide a brief introduction for statistical physicists of the way in which living cells communicate genetically through transferred genes, as well as the ways in which they can reorganize their genomes in response to environmental pressure. W...
متن کاملHorizontal gene transfer in evolution: facts and challenges.
The contribution of horizontal gene transfer to evolution has been controversial since it was suggested to be a force driving evolution in the microbial world. In this paper, I review the current standpoint on horizontal gene transfer in evolutionary thinking and discuss how important horizontal gene transfer is in evolution in the broad sense, and particularly in prokaryotic evolution. I revie...
متن کاملHorizontal 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 ...
