Contribution of lateral gene transfers to the genome composition and parasitic ability of root-knot nematodes.

Lateral gene transfers (LGT), species to species transmission of genes by means other than direct inheritance from a common ancestor, have played significant role in shaping prokaryotic genomes and are involved in gain or transfer of important biological processes. Whether LGT significantly contribu...
