Abstract. In a horizontal gene transfer (HGT) event a gene is transferred between two species that do not share an ancestor-descendant relationship. Typically, no more than a few g...
Abstract. One phylogeny-based approach to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) detection entails comparing the topology of a gene tree to that of the species tree, and using their differ...
Background: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has allowed bacteria to evolve many new capabilities. Because transferred genes perform many medically important functions, such as conf...
Prokaryotic organisms share genetic material across species boundaries by means of a process known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Detecting this process bears great significanc...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in microbial genome diversiļ¬cation, and is claimed to be rampant among various groups of genes in bacteria. Further, HGT is a ma...
