Exploring the roles of horizotnal gene transfer in metazoans
Chen, Dongliang (East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)Horizontal gene transfer (HGT; also known as lateral gene transfer, LGT) refers to the movement of genetic information between distinct species by overcoming normal mating barriers. Historically HGT is only considered to ... -

Zhang, Ticao; Qiao, Qin; Novikova, Polina Yu.; Wang, Qia; Yue, Jipei; Guan, Yanlong; Ming, Shengping; Liu, Tianmeng; De, Ji; Liu, Yixuan; Al-Shehbaz, Ihsan A.; Sun, Hang; Montagu, Marc Van; Huang, Jinling; Peer, Yves Van de; Qiong, La (2019-04-02)Crucihimalaya himalaica is a close relative of Arabidopsis with typical Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) distribution. Here, by combining short- and long-read sequencing technologies, we provide a de novo genome sequence of C. ... -
Genome-wide and molecular evolution analysis of the subtilase gene family in
Cao, Jun; Han, Xi; Zhang, Ticao; Yang, Yongping; Huang, Jinling; Hu, Xiangyang (2014-12)Background Vitis vinifera (grape) is one of the most economically significant fruit crops in the world. The availability of the recently released grape genome sequence offers an opportunity to identify and analyze some ... -
HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER (HGT) AND SPHAGNUM FALLAX: A PHYLOGENETIC LOOK INTO THE OCCURRENCE, PREVALENCE, AND IMPORTANCE OF HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER IN A BOG MOSS
Sink, Tyler Zachary (East Carolina University, 2020-11-04)Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a biological process that involves any transmission of genetic material that isn't vertical in nature. HGT occurs frequently between prokaryotes and plays a significant role in prokaryotic ... -
Intron position in RNA polymerase genes and their relationship to eukaryotic phylogenies
Robinson, Matthew C. (East Carolina University, 2010)Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing amount of research devoted to the study of intron evolution and its relationship to eukaryotic phylogeny. Previous studies have shown that a large percentage of ... -
Lateral Gene Transfer between Bacteria and Trichoderma reesei
Worley, Charles (East Carolina University, 2012)Lateral gene transfer (LGT) has played an important role in shaping the `tree of life'. It has promoted evolution by generating gene redundancies, which allow for more freedom in terms of allowed mutations in a genome, ... -
Major Episodes of Horizontal Gene Transfer Drove the Evolution of Land Plants

Re-analyses of “Algal” Genes Suggest a Complex Evolutionary History of Oomycetes
Wang, Qia; Sun, Hang; Huang, Jinling (2017-09-06)The spread of photosynthesis is one of the most important but constantly debated topics in eukaryotic evolution. Various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the plastid distribution in extant eukaryotes. Notably, the ... -
Root parasitic plant and shoot parasitic plant obtained Brassicaceae-specific genes by horizontal gene transfer
Zhang, Dale; Qi, Jinfeng; Yue, Jipei; Huang, Jinling; Sun, Ting; Li, Suoping; Wen, Jian-Fan; Hettenhausen, Christian; Wu, Jinsong; Wang, Lei; Zhuang, Huifu; Wu, Jianqiang; Sun, Guiling (2014)Background Besides gene duplication and de novo gene generation, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is another important way of acquiring new genes. HGT may endow the recipients with novel phenotypic traits that are important ... -
Root parasitic plant Orobanche aegyptiaca and shoot parasitic plant Cuscuta australis obtained Brassicaceae-specific strictosidine synthase-like genes by horizontal gene transfer

The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate
Yue, Jipei; Sun, Guiling; Hu, Xiangyang; Huang, Jinling (2013-10)Background It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms ... -
The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis
Yue, Jipei; Sun, Guiling; Hu, Xiangyang; Huang, Jinling (2013-10)It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms remain largely ... -
The Effects of Horizontal Gene Transfer on the Evolution of Land Plants
Jandron, Memphis C (East Carolina University, 2023-04-25)This study sought to understand how horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has affected the evolution of land plants. Land plants evolved from charophyte green algae. A list of candidate genes derived from HGT was generated from ... -
Transcriptome sequencing of Crucihimalaya himalaica (Brassicaceae) reveals how Arabidopsis close relative adapt to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Qiao, Qin; Wang, Qia; Han, Xi; Guan, Yanlong; Sun, Hang; Zhong, Yang; Huang, Jinling; Zhang, Ticao (2016-02)The extreme environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provides an ideal natural laboratory for studies on adaptive evolution. Few genome/transcriptome based studies have been conducted on how plants adapt to the ... -
