2 No evidence for lateral gene transfer from salmonids to Schistosomes ( or vice 3 versa ) 4
12 13 A study in 2004 in number 8 of this journal concluded that in the past some sort of 14 lateral gene transfer occurred from the salmonids to the schistosomes 1. Schistosomes 15 are parasitic helminths that cause a severe disorder called bilharziosis or 16 schistosomiasis in humans and several animals. The deduction of gene transfer was 17 based on the analysis of an EST library for Schisto...
متن کاملThe genome of Methanosarcina mazei: evidence for lateral gene transfer between bacteria and archaea.
The Archaeon Methanosarcina mazei and related species are of great ecological importance as they are the only organisms fermenting acetate, methylamines and methanol to methane, carbon dioxide and ammonia (in case of methylamines). Since acetate is the precursor of 60% of the methane produced on earth these organisms contribute significantly to the production of this greenhouse gas, e.g. in ric...
متن کاملEvidences of lateral gene transfer between archaea and pathogenic bacteria
Acquisition of new genetic material through horizontal gene transfer has been shown to be an important feature in the evolution of many pathogenic bacteria. Changes in the genetic repertoire, occurring through gene acquisition and deletion, are the major events underlying the emergence and evolution of bacterial pathogens. However, horizontal gene transfer across the domains i.e. archaea and ba...
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...
