10 lis 2022 · We identified which of these bacterial species are truly clonal, classified bacteria into biological species by redefining species boundaries based on gene flow, and analyzed the patterns of gene flow between species (i.e., introgression).
15 maj 2017 · In this Review, we discuss our current knowledge of archaeal mechanisms of DNA transfer and highlight the role of gene transfer in archaeal evolution.
1 mar 2013 · Here we synthesize recent literature demonstrating the importance of habitat and niche in structuring horizontal gene transfer. This leads to a model of ecological speciation via gradual genetic isolation triggered by differential habitat-association of nascent populations.
12 lis 2021 · Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is arguably the most conspicuous feature of bacterial evolution. Evidence for HGT is found in most bacterial genomes.
The ever-increasing availability of contiguous nucleotide sequences from multiple regions of bacterial genomes has revealed the central role of homologous recombination in the evolution of most bacterial populations.
26 wrz 2016 · This minireview describes some recent systematic studies providing illustrative examples that involve the acquisition and alteration of genetic information for molecular innovation by bacteria in well-defined environments.
11 kwi 2024 · In bacteria, one example of this impact of general divergence is the reduction in gene exchange by homologous recombination that occurs with increasing sequence divergence (e.g., Diop et al., 2022).
