ShadowCaster: Compositional Methods under the Shadow of Phylogenetic Models to Detect Horizontal Gene Transfers in Prokaryotes

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays an important role for evolutionary innovations within prokaryotic communities and is a crucial event for their survival. Several computational approaches have arisen to identify HGT events in recipient genomes. However, this has been proven to be a complex task d...
