Evolution of four gene families with patchy phylogenetic distributions: influx of genes into protist genomes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Lateral gene transfer (LGT) in eukaryotes from non-organellar sources is a controversial subject in need of further study. Here we present gene distribution and phylogenetic analyses of the genes encoding the hybrid-cluster protein,...
