This project investigates lateral gene transfer in prokaryotes, focusing on how DNA is acquired and incorporated across species. It aims to quantify the contributions of different mechanisms to prokaryotic genome evolution using advanced computational models.
Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the process by which prokaryotes acquire DNA across wide taxonomic boundaries and incorporate it into their genome.
Accumulating evidence shows that LGT plays a major role in prokaryote evolution.
The biological and evolutionary significance of lateral gene transfer has broad implications for our understanding of microbial biology, not only in terms of evolution, but also in terms of human health.Mechanisms of lateral gene transfer include: transformation, transduc…
