- Title
The Role of Horizontal Gene Transfer in the Evolution of the Oomycetes.
- Authors
Savory, Fiona; Leonard, Guy; Richards, Thomas A.
- Abstract
The article explores the way by which horizontal gene transfer (HGT) contributed to the genome evolution in oomycetes. Topics covered include the role of HGT in the evolution of the microbial eukaryote oomycetes, evidence of expansion of horizontally transferred genes in the oomycetes, the role of HGT in the evolution of the oomycete secretome and the impact of HGT on the convergent evolution between fungi and the oomycetes.
