Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) refers to the transfer of genes between organisms in a manner other than traditional reproduction. Also termed lateral gene transfer (LGT), it contrasts with ...

The arrows in (C) denote horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and the gray shading indicates the possibility of rampant gene transfer at early stages of evolution, so distinct lineages of descent might ...

Advanced analytical techniques, such as phylogenetic analysis and machine learning, were employed to investigate the role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) — primarily mediated by transformation ...
