Systematic overestimation of gene gain through false diagnosis of gene absence

Olga Zhaxybayeva, Camilla L Nesbø, W Ford Doolittle Genome Biology 2007, 8:402 (26 February 2007)

Usual BLAST-based methods for assessing gene presence and absence lead to systematic overestimation of within-species gene gain by lateral transfer.

Deduction of probable events of lateral gene transfer through comparison of phylogenetic trees by recursive consolidation and rearrangement

Dave MacLeod, Robert L Charlebois, Ford Doolittle, Eric Bapteste BMC Evolutionary Biology 2005, 5:27 (8 April 2005)

Two programs, which extract evidence for vertical and lateral inheritance from a set of gene trees relative to a reference tree, enable individual nodes to be examined for congruence or coherence in light of lateral gene transfer and facilitate the comparison of phylogenetic trees and the interpretation of conflicting data.
