An automated approach for the identification of horizontal gene transfers from complete genomes reveals the rhizome of Rickettsiales

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is considered to be a major force driving the evolutionary history of prokaryotes. HGT is widespread in prokaryotes, contributing to the genomic repertoire of prokaryotic organisms, and is particularly...
