This manuscript offers valuable theoretical predictions on how horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can lead to alternative stable states in microbial communities. Using a modeling framework, solid ...

To see the previous version neoHGT1, you may find it here. neoHGT can predict the horizontal/lateral gene transfer (HGT) for species of interest. This open-source project is based on HGTector ...

With more than 50,000 described species, the leaf beetle family is distributed worldwide and represents about a quarter of the species diversity of all herbivores. Leaf beetles can be found to feed on ...

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.

These differences enable rapid responses to environmental changes and provide a selective advantage. Another mechanism ...

Explore how oribatid mites have thrived for millions of years without sex, using unique strategies like parthenogenesis and gene transfer.

Mites have survived for millions of years without sexual reproduction. Researchers have now investigated how these tiny ...

外源DNA的序列组成（如GC含量）决定了其在宿主细胞核中的适应方式。GC含量较高的DNA更容易被宿主转录，并与酵母自身的活跃染色体混合，而AT含量丰富的DNA则倾向于形成紧密的、低活性的染色质结构，并与宿主基因组分隔开 ...

Potential health risks to humans include the possibility of exposure to new allergens in genetically modified foods, as well as the transfer of ... understanding of gene expression systems.
