Horizontal gene transfer among genomes: The complexity hypothesis

Jain, Ravi, Rivera, Maria C., Lake, James A.

Increasingly, studies of genes and genomes are indicating that considerable horizontal transfer has occurred between prokaryotes. Extensive horizontal transfer has occurred for operational genes...

Genomic evidence for two functionally distinct gene classes

Rivera, Maria C., Jain, Ravi, Moore, Jonathan E., Lake, James A.

Analyses of complete genomes indicate that a massive prokaryotic gene transfer (or transfers) preceded the formation of the eukaryotic cell. In comparisons of the entire set of Methanococcus...

Decoding the genomic tree of life

Simonson, Anne B., Servin, Jacqueline A., Skophammer, Ryan G., Herbold, Craig W., Rivera, Maria C., Lake, James A.

Genomes hold within them the record of the evolution of life on Earth. But genome fusions and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) seem to have obscured sufficiently the gene sequence record such that it...
