Título: | Horizontal gene transfer in evolution: facts and challenges |
Autor: | Boto, Luis CSIC ORCID | Palabras clave: | Evolution Horizontal gene transfer Evolutionary mechanisms |
Fecha de publicación: | 29-oct-2009 | Editor: | Royal Society (Great Britain) | Citación: | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B 277: 819-827 (2010) | Resumen: | The contribution of horizontal gene transfer to evolution has been controversial since it was suggested to be a force driving evolution in the microbial world. In this paper, I review the current standpoint on horizontal gene transfer in evolutionary thinking and discuss how important horizontal gene transfer is in evolution in the broad sense and particularly in prokaryotic evolution. I review recent literature asking firstly which processes are involved in the evolutionary success of transferred genes and secondly about the extent of horizontal gene transfer toward different evolutionary times. Moreover, I discuss the feasibility of reconstructing ancient phylogenetic relationships in the face of horizontal gene transfer. Finally, I discuss how horizontal gene transfer fits in the current neodarwinian evolutionary paradigm and conclude there is a need for a new evolutionary paradigm that includes horizontal gene transfer as well as other mechanisms in the explanation of evolution. | Descripción: | 9 páginas, | Versión del editor: | http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2009/10/27/rspb.2009.1679.full.ht | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/65322 | DOI: | 10.1098/rspb.2009.1679 | ISSN: | 0962-8452 | E-ISSN: | 1471-2954 |
