Biased gene transfer and its implications for the concept of lineage Cheryl P Andam, J Peter Gogarten Biology Direct 2011, 6:47 (23 September 2011) This article is part of a collection on Beyond the tree of life Evolutionary histories of three aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases show that the concept of organismal lineage in the prokaryotic world is defined by vertical inheritance and horizontal gene transfer biased towards close relatives.

John W Stiller BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:259 (16 September 2011) John Stiller comments on the need for phylogenomic studies that test explicit a priori hypothesis-driven predictions of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), using rigorous statistical methods, with clearly defined experimental controls due to the large and complex nature of eukaryotic genome sequences.

Review
Prokaryotic evolution and the tree of life are two different things Eric Bapteste, Maureen A O'Malley, Robert G Beiko, Marc Ereshefsky, J Peter Gogarten, Laura Franklin-Hall, François-Joseph Lapointe, John Dupré, Tal Dagan, Yan Boucher, William Martin Biology Direct 2009, 4:34 (29 September 2009) This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150... From philosophical, scientific and epistemological perspectives, we argue that the tree of life can not successfully account for prokaryotic evolution, and we briefly set out alternative models to study their evolution.
