A two-phase approach for detecting recombination in nucleotide sequences
Cheong Xin Chan, Robert G. Beiko, Mark A. Ragan
Genetic recombination can produce heterogeneous phylogenetic histories within a set of homologous genes. Delineating recombination events is important in the study of molecular evo…
Genetic transfer in Staphylococcus: a case study of 13 genomes
Cheong Xin Chan, Robert G. Beiko, Mark A. Ragan
The widespread presence of antibiotic resistance and virulence among Staphylococcus isolates has been attributed to lateral genetic transfer (LGT) between different strains or spec…
Protein domains as units of genetic transfer
Cheong Xin Chan, Robert G. Beiko, Aaron E. Darling +1
Genomes evolve as modules. In prokaryotes (and some eukaryotes), genetic material can be transferred between species and integrated into the genome via homologous or illegitimate r…
Units of genetic transfer in prokaryotes
Cheong Xin Chan, Robert G. Beiko, Mark A. Ragan
The transfer of genetic materials across species (lateral genetic transfer, LGT) contributes to genomic and physiological innovation in prokaryotes. The extent of LGT in prokaryote…
