It has been suggested that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the “essence of phylogeny.” In
contrast, much data suggest that this is an exaggeration resulting in part from a reliance on …

Microbes acquire DNA from a variety of sources. The last decades, which have seen the
development of genome sequencing, have revealed that horizontal gene transfer has been …

Horizontal or Lateral Gene Transfer (HGT or LGT) is the transmission of portions of genomic
DNA between organisms through a process decoupled from vertical inheritance. In the …

We propose a simple algorithm to detect dominating synonymous codon usage bias in
genomes. The algorithm is based on a precise mathematical formulation of the problem that …

It has been claimed that complete genome sequences would clarify phylogenetic
relationships between organisms, but up to now, no satisfying approach has been proposed …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the stable transfer of genetic material from one organism to
another without reproduction or human intervention. Transfer occurs by the passage of …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is widespread in the evolution of prokaryotes, especially
those associated with the human body. Here, we implemented large-scale gene-species …

The initial analysis of complete genomes has suggested that horizontal gene transfer events
are very frequent between microorganisms. This could potentially render the inference, and …

The various methods for detecting potential lateral gene transfer events typically uncover
different sets of genes. Because the procedures used to recognize transferred genes ask …

Owing to their unique potential to ferment carbohydrates, both homo-and heterofermentative
lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used in the food industry. Deciphering the genetic basis …
