This Collection offers a platform for original, integrative, and multidisciplinary research on horizontal gene transfer.

In addition to papers on Horizontal gene transfer, Scientific Reports welcomes all original research in the field of Earth and environmental sciences.

Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the primary mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer between strains and species 2. Describe why horizontal gene transfer can more quickly disseminate antimicrobial ...

Breaking the tree? horizontal gene transfer and phylogeny Two Dr. Doolittles argue over whether it's possible to build accurate … ...

UC Santa Cruz researchers are studying the ways certain genetic elements hide and make copies of themselves, so they can propagate within a species’ DNA, or even hop from one species to an unrelated ...

Here we examine the effect of horizontal gene transfer on the evolutionary advantage of stress-induced mutator alleles. Our results demonstrate that stress-induced mutator alleles are favored by ...

These additions of DNA, called horizontal gene transfer, likely contributed to the repeated emergence of coffee wilt disease on the African continent.

The study identified direct evidence for the horizontal transfer of introners between a sea sponge and a type of marine protist known as a dinoflagellate. There is genetic data that about 40 million ...

The discussion here centers on horizontal gene transfer, a well-understood evolutionary mechanism in science. Typically ...
