The new foundations of evolution: on the tree of life
JO Andersson - 2011 - academic.oup.com
I believe that few people would argue against that lateral gene transfer is a fundamental
process in the evolution of Bacteria and Archaea and that an understanding of this …

Getting a better picture of microbial evolution en route to a network of genomes
Most current thinking about evolution is couched in the concept of trees. The notion of a tree
with recursively bifurcating branches representing recurrent divergence events is a plausible …
