Genomics of bacteria and archaea: the emerging dynamic view of the prokaryotic world (2008, background): “It should be noted that, by definition, in simple COGs, only the form of HGT denoted xenologous gene displacement (XGD) is possible, whereby a gene from a distant source displaces the resident ortholog (28,179).”
