Lateral Gene Transfer in Evolution

Modifié par Uri Gophna ...

Collections series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Although the phenomenon of lateral gene transfer has been known since the 1940's, it was the genomics era that has really revealed the extent and many facets of this evolutionary/genetic phenomenon. Even in the early 2000s with but a handful of genomes available it became clear that the nature of microorganisms is full of genetic exchange between lineages that are sometimes far apart.
