Animals in a bacterial world, a new imperative for the life sciences (2013, background): “Not surprisingly, many animal genes are homologs of bacterial genes, mostly derived by descent, but occasionally by gene transfer from bacteria (21).”
Thoughts on the evolution and ecological niche of diatoms (2021, background): “…genome is also noted to have a high number of transposable elements and insertion/deletion mutations (Vardi et al. 2009), and it appears that horizontal gene transfer has been more pervasive than in other phototrophic eukaryotes (Bowler et al. 2008, Keeling and Palmer 2008, Martens et al. 2008).”
Phylogeny and Molecular Evolution of the Green Algae (2012, background): “A growing body of data is providing evidence for widespread movement of genetic information between distantly related eukaryotic genomes (Keeling and Palmer, 2008; Schaack et al., D ow nl oa de d by [ U ni ve rs ity o f G en t] a t 0 7: 28 1 4 Fe br ua ry 2 01 2 2010).”
The endosymbiotic origin, diversification and fate of plastids (2010, background): “Whatever the mode of transfer, it is growing clear that eukaryotes can and have acquired genes from a variety of sources beyond their organelles (Keeling & Palmer 2008), 740 P. J. Keeling Review.”
Microsporidia: a journey through radical taxonomical revisions (2009, background): “…spores are the only stage that lives outside Our view of the tree of eukaryotic has undergone substantial revision in the past decade (Keeling et al., 2005; Keeling and Palmer, 2008), but few lineages have seen their position within the tree as radically changed as have the Microsporidia.”
The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, background): “Evolution of holobionts by acquiring microbial genes: Microbial symbionts not only provide holobionts with an enormous amount of genetic information, but they also have the potential to transfer some of their microbial genes to host chromosomes (Keeling and Palmer 2008).”
The evolutionary origin of orphan genes (2011, background): “In metazoans, the role of HGT seems to be more limited, although a number of specific cases have been documente”
Life is Physics: Evolution as a Collective Phenomenon Far From Equilibrium (2010, background): “This is a true frontier of physics, but one that will require a great deal of what has been termed (in another context of non-equilibrium physics) “open-minded spadework”[32] to unearth.”
Gene transfer into the fungi (2011, background): “In contrast, others have argued that careful targeting of specific gene markers, combined with sophisticated phylogenetic methods can identify a skeleton tree of life, upon which hangs an extensive web of gene transfers (Cox et al., 2008; Gribaldo et al., 2010; Kelly et al., 2010).”
The Logic of Chance: The Nature and Origin of Biological Evolution (2011, background): “Although multiple acquisitions of bacterial genes by unicellular eukaryotes have been reported, the level of HGT is hardly comparable to that seen in no-parasitic bacteria and archaea (Keeling and Palmer, 2008).”
