Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) refers to the exchange of genetic material between disparate groups of organisms other than from parent to offspring, which has been confirmed as a very significant factor in adaptive evolution, disease emergence and metabolic shift that can act across various species. However, current methods for HGT detection ...
The 1st gene involved in a HGT event: Gene_2: The 2nd gene involved in a HGT event: Identity: Identity between Gene_1 and Gene_2: Occurence(taxon_ranks) Only for multiple-level detections. If you performed HGT detection at phylum, class and order levels, a number of "011" means current HGT was identified at class and order levels, but not ...
Previous efforts to examine the mobility of genes have reported higher rates of HGT in phylogenetically related organisms, compared with those distantly related (), and between organisms with shared GC content and kmer content (), or methylation patterns ().Genome content, such as the presence of specific plasmid replicon and mobilization machinery or …
The HGT blood test lets diabetic patients know whether they need to change their diet, exercise, or medicines. When to conduct the HGT test. People with the following conditions should get their HGT test done: Type 1 Diabetes; High blood sugar; Low blood sugar; Pregnancy ; For more information regarding the HGT blood test, visit us at Grace ...
Background A fundamental concept in biology is that heritable material is passed from parents to offspring, a process called vertical gene transfer. An alternative mechanism of gene acquisition is through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which involves movement of genetic materials between different species. Horizontal gene transfer has been found prevalent in …
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has a major impact on the evolution of prokaryotic genomes, as it allows genes evolved in different contexts to be combined in a single genome, greatly enhancing the ways evolving organisms can explore the gene content space and adapt to the environment. A systematic analysis of HGT in a large number of genomes is of key …
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and mutation play vital roles in creating the vast genetic diversity observed in bacteria. In principal, transfer can and presumably often does occur between members of the same bacterial strain, though in practice such transfers can be difficult to demonstrate after the fact.
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), an important evolutionary mechanism observed in prokaryotes, is the transmission of genetic material across phylogenetically distant species. In recent years, the availability of complete genomes has facilitated the comprehensive analysis of HGT and highlighted its emerging role in the adaptation and evolution of eukaryotes. …
How horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has contributed to the evolution of animals and plants remains a major puzzle. Despite recent progress, defining the overall scale and pattern of HGT events in land plants has been largely elusive. In this study, we performed systematic analyses for acquired genes in different plant groups and throughout land ...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the movement of genetic material across branches of the tree of life, is well established in prokaryotes and uncontroversial. This is explained in part by relatively compact prokaryote genomes that facilitate assembly and gene prediction, resulting in thousands of complete genomes for analysis. By contrast, their large and often complex …
The hornwort-to-fern HGT event was dated c. 178 million yr ago (Ma), roughly coinciding with the radiation of ferns under the canopy of modern angiosperms. Further evidence highlighting HGT's role in the evolution of ferns came during the course of assembling the first fern genomes (Li et al., 2018).

Most of our knowledge about HGT comes from in silico (i.e., comparative genomics) and in vitro studies, for which the latter typically represent experimental simplifications of more complex biological systems. While there is evidence that point mutations, small deletions, or transposable element insertions can occur at an appreciable rate in vivo, 5 quantifying, or …
