Título: | Horizontal gene transfer in the acquisition of novel traits by metazoans |
Autor: | Boto, Luis CSIC ORCID | Palabras clave: | Evolution Horizontal gene transfer Metazoans Novel traits |
Fecha de publicación: | 2014 | Editor: | Royal Society (Great Britain) | Citación: | Proc. R. Soc. B, 281 (1777): 20132450 | Resumen: | Horizontal gene transfer is accepted as an important evolutionary force modulating the evolution of prokaryote genomes. However, it is thought that horizontal gene transfer plays only a minor role in metazoan evolution. In this paper, I critically review the rising evidence on horizontally transferred genes and on the acquisition of novel traits in metazoans. In particular, I discuss suspected examples in sponges, cnidarians, rotifers, nematodes, molluscs and arthropods which suggest that horizontal gene transfer in metazoans is not simply a curiosity. In addition, I stress the scarcity of studies in vertebrates and other animal groups and the importance of forthcoming studies to understand the importance and extent of horizontal gene transfer in animals | Descripción: | 8 páginas y 1 table | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2013.2450 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/89433 | DOI: | 10.1098/rspb.2013.2450 | ISSN: | 0962-8452 | E-ISSN: | 1471-2954 |
