Reconstructing horizontal gene flow network to understand prokaryotic evolution
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major source of phenotypic innovation and a mechanism of niche adaptation in prokaryotes. Quantification of HGT is critical to decipher its myriad roles in microbial evolution and adaptation. Advances in genome sequencing and bioinformatics have augmented our abil...
