Inferring a Network of Horizontal Gene Flow among Prokaryotes Using Complementary Approaches
Description:
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), a mechanism that facilitates exchange of genetic material between organisms from different lineages, has a profound impact on prokaryotic evolution. To infer HGT, we first developed a comparative genomics-based tool, APP, which can perform phyletic pattern analysis using completely sequenced genomes to identify genes are unique to a genome or have sporadic distribution in its close relatives. Performance assessment against currently available tools on a manually …
