This project investigates the mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in eukaryotes, focusing on Mavericks, ancient genetic elements that facilitate gene exchange between species. By exploring their life cycle and impact on genome evolution, the project aims to advance our understanding of HGT and develop new meth…
From antiparasitic toxins in butterflies to antifreeze proteins in fish, horizontal gene transfer (HGT)—the non-sexual exchange of genes between species—has been observed in all major eukaryotic lineages.
However, one of its most fascinating aspects, the transfer mechanism, remains a mystery despite decades of research.
How can DNA leave the donor species, come in close contact with the germline of a second species, and integrate in the genome of its new host?
Our lab made a significant breakthr…
