Horizontal Gene Transfer and Plastid Endosymbiosis in Dinoflagellate Gene Innovation
Recent studies suggest that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays an important role in niche adaptation in some eukaryotes and may be a major evolutionary force in unicellular lineages. One subcategory of HGT is endosymbiotic gene transfer (EGT), which is characterized by a large influx of genes from...
