Widespread impact of horizontal gene transfer on plant colonization of land
(2012-10)
In complex multicellular eukaryotes such as animals and plants, horizontal gene transfer is commonly considered rare with very limited evolutionary significance. Here we show that horizontal gene transfer is a dynamic ...
Lateral Gene Transfer between Bacteria and Trichoderma reesei
(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, ...
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive & Dependence: Using Dodgeball to Explore Frequency Dependent Selection
(2016-09)
The term frequency dependence describes scenarios in which the likelihood
of an event occurring is strongly tied to how common a particular trait is.
Understanding frequency dependence is key to understanding ...
