Evolution of an insect immune barrier through horizontal gene transfer mediated by a parasitic wasp.

Evolution of an insect immune barrier through horizontal gene transfer mediated by a parasitic wasp.

Genome sequencing data have recently demonstrated that eukaryote evolution has been remarkably influenced by the acquisition of a large number of genes by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) across different kingdoms. However, in depth-studies on the physiological traits conferred by these accidental DNA...
