Where did you come from, where did you go: Refining metagenomic analysis tools for horizontal gene transfer characterisation.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has changed the way we regard evolution. Instead of waiting for the next generation to establish new traits, especially bacteria are able to take a shortcut via HGT that enables them to pass on genes from one individual to another, even across species boundaries. The t...
