Abstract

This chapter discusses the pros and cons of the existing computational methods for the detection of horizontal (or lateral) gene transfer and highlights the genome-wide studies utilizing these methods. The impact of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) on prokaryote genome evolution is discussed.

摘要

本章讨论了用于检测水平（或横向）基因转移的现有计算方法的优缺点，并着重介绍了利用这些方法进行的全基因组研究。还讨论了水平基因转移（HGT）对原核生物基因组进化的影响。
