Gary Xie, Carol A Bonner, Jian Song, Nemat O Keyhani, Roy A Jensen BMC Biology 2004, 2:15 (23 June 2004) Phylogenetic analysis of bacterial genes involved in tryptophan synthesis reveals that several whole-pathway lateral gene transfers have occurred, as well as partial-pathway transfers in which the transferred genes function in specialised metabolism.

Comparative genomics of gene-family size in closely related bacteria Ravindra Pushker, Alex Mira, Francisco Rodríguez-Valera Genome Biology 2004, 5:R27 (18 March 2004) The size of a given gene family is remarkably similar in strains of the same species and in closely related species, suggesting that homologous gene families are vertically transmitted and depend little on horizontal gene transfer. |
