Origin of magnetotaxis: Vertical inheritance or horizontal transfer?
Lin et al. (1) claim that the origin of magnetotaxis dates back to the Archean using phylogenomic methods. Although we salute the interesting results, we have serious concerns about their fundamental conclusion and interpretation of the results. The dating of the origin of magnetotaxis was based on the inference of a magnetotactic ancestor of Proteobacteria and Nitrospirae phyla. However, wheth...
متن کاملOrigin of the bacterial SET domain genes: vertical or horizontal?
The presence of Supressor of variegation-Enhanser of zeste-Trithorax (SET) domain genes in bacteria is a current paradigm for lateral genetic exchange between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Because a major function of SET domain proteins is the chemical modification of chromatin and bacteria do not have chromatin, there is no apparent functional requirement for the existence of bacterial SET domai...
متن کاملA resolution comparison of horizontal and vertical magnetic transfer functions
The main goal of the present study is to identify characteristics of the inter-station horizontal magnetic responses and the vertical magnetic data, as two types of magnetotelluric transfer functions, in the modeling procedure. Through consideration of model responses and two-dimensional inversion of synthetic data, sensitivity of the data components in detecting different geophysical structure...
متن کاملHorizontal Gene Transfer: Accidental Inheritance Drives Adaptation
Few facts in biology are more certain than offspring inheriting genetic material from their parents, but not all genes are acquired this way. A new report documents the horizontal transfer of a potentially adaptive gene between distantly related plants.
