The FDA assertion that horizontal gene transfer does not occur between transgenic plants and microorganisms has stimulated a number of investigations, centering on two types of experiments ...

I just think the lesson is that DNA really gets around. —Nancy Moran, University of Texas at Austin If Li had been studying bacteria, finding this kind of lateral or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) ...

"We were also able to demonstrate that horizontal gene transfer, a phenomenon that describes the incorporation of foreign genes from bacteria into the genome, is quite common in leaf beetles.

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...
