Next-Generation Sequencing — An Overview of the History, Tools, and “Omic” Applications (2016, background): “For example, the family of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and the CRISPR-associated proteins in the CRISPR-Associated System (CAS) that have an important role in the host’s adaptive immunity to pathogens and as responders to environmental stress [192–194] have be”
Antibiotic resistome in the livestock and aquaculture industries: Status and solutions (2020, background): “The horizontal transfer of ARGs potentially promotes the flow of ARGs from animals to humans (Soucy et al., 2015; von Wintersdorff et al., 2016).”
Biofilms as Promoters of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance and Tolerance (2020, background): “This arises through genetic modifications of originally sensitive bacteria, either through mutations or by the incorporation of new genes via HGT.”
Leveraging Logical Rules for Efficacious Representation of Large Orthology Datasets (2017, background): “They occur due to horizontal gene transfer [15].”
