متن کاملLateral and oblique gene transfer.
Sequence information from complete genomes, and from multiple loci of strains within species, is transforming the way that we investigate the evolution of bacteria. Such large-scale assessments of bacterial genomes have provided evidence of extensive gene transfer and exchange. Except in rare cases, these two processes do not seem to be coupled: certain species, such as Escherichia coli, underg...
متن کاملIdentifying a species tree subject to random lateral gene transfer.
A major problem for inferring species trees from gene trees is that evolutionary processes can sometimes favor gene tree topologies that conflict with an underlying species tree. In the case of incomplete lineage sorting, this phenomenon has recently been well-studied, and some elegant solutions for species tree reconstruction have been proposed. One particularly simple and statistically consis...
متن کاملMuch ado about bacteria-to-vertebrate lateral gene transfer.
When the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium (IHGSC) published its draft of the human genome in February 2001, several genes were identified as possible bacteria-to-vertebrate transfers (BVTs). These genes were identified by their highly significant sequence similarity to bacterial genes in BLAST searches, and by their lack of matches among non-vertebrate eukaryote genes. Many were...
متن کاملWidespread lateral gene transfer from intracellular bacteria to multicellular eukaryotes.
Although common among bacteria, lateral gene transfer-the movement of genes between distantly related organisms-is thought to occur only rarely between bacteria and multicellular eukaryotes. However, the presence of endosymbionts, such as Wolbachia pipientis, within some eukaryotic germlines may facilitate bacterial gene transfers to eukaryotic host genomes. We therefore examined host genomes f...
