Pesticides and antibiotics are linked inextricably in the looming crisis of human and ecosystem health. Both started out as ...

The study identified direct evidence for the horizontal transfer of introners between a sea sponge and a type of marine protist known as a dinoflagellate. There is genetic data that about 40 million ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic material from one organism to another. In this article, we will discuss what HGT is, how it is used in research, how to detect it and the ...

The non-descript, pill-shaped cell is why we understand fundamental life processes (think DNA replication and transcription).

Amid the wealth management debate on how best to retain next-gen clients amid the great wealth transfer, a lesser-known trend is gaining traction.

Horizontal gene transfer was not adversely affected by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) among a study population of 87 adolescents classified as obese, according to new research published in ...

Evidence of horizontal gene transfer between human maternal microbiome and infant gut microbiome Researchers have discovered a new mode of vertical mother-to-infant microbiome transmission, where ...

A new study has shown that virus-like transposons, called Mavericks, are responsible for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in nematodes. Researchers led by Alejandro Burga at the Austrian Academy of ...

The ability of a gene to undergo horizontal gene transfer is affected by the number of interaction partners of the resulting protein.

Additionally, maternal influences on the gut microbiome and metabolic activities of the infants are also exercised through interspecies horizontal gene transfer from mother to infant.
