A Bayesian method for analyzing lateral gene transfer.
Lateral gene transfer (LGT)--which transfers DNA between two non-vertically related individuals belonging to the same or different species--is recognized as a major force in prokaryotic evolution, and evidence of its impact on eukaryotic evolution is ever increasing. LGT has attracted much public attention for its potential to transfer pathogenic elements and antibiotic resistance in bacteria, ...

متن کاملAutomating the Search for Lateral Gene Transfer
Most genes have attained their observed distribution among genomes by transmission from parent to offspring through time. In prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), however, some genes are where they are as the result of transfer from an unrelated lineage. To elucidate the biological origins and functional consequences of lateral gene transfer (LGT), we have constructed an automated computational p...
متن کاملLateral and oblique gene transfer.
Sequence information from complete genomes, and from multiple loci of strains within species, is transforming the way that we investigate the evolution of bacteria. Such large-scale assessments of bacterial genomes have provided evidence of extensive gene transfer and exchange. Except in rare cases, these two processes do not seem to be coupled: certain species, such as Escherichia coli, underg...
متن کاملHybrid Method for Quantifying and Analyzing Bayesian Belief Nets
Bayesian belief nets (BBNs) have become a popular tool for specifying highdimensional probabilistic models. Commercial tools with an advanced graphical user interface that support BBNs construction and inference are available. Thus, building and working with BBNs is very efficient as long as one is not forced to quantify complex BBNs. A high assessment burden of discrete BBNs is often caused by...
