Displacement of ɛ-proteobacterial core genes by horizontally transferred homologous genes
2005
Research in Microbiology
The introduction of novel genes by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is considered an alternative mechanism for genetic adaptation, leading to diversification and speciation. The goal of this study was to determine which genes that are present in all sequenced ε-proteobacterial genomes were acquired by HGT. In our approach we used BLAST analysis to reduce the number of genes that subsequently needed to be analysed using more in-depth phylogenetic methods, including neighbour-joining and maximum
