Functional Constraints on Replacing an Essential Gene with Its Ancient and Modern Homologs

Functional Constraints on Replacing an Essential Gene with Its Ancient and Modern Homologs

Genes encoding proteins that carry out essential informational tasks in the cell, in particular where multiple interaction partners are involved, are less likely to be transferable to a foreign organism. Here, we investigated the constraints on transfer of a gene encoding a highly conserved informat...
