Genome Resources: Horizontally transferred regions

Horizontal gene transfer refers to processes by which genetic material is transferred from one organism to another without the one being the parent of the other. Horizontal transfer in bacteria can occur through movement of DNA by mobile genetic elements including plasmids, phage, or transposons. Horizontally transferred regions can be identified by:
  1. Identify locations of mobile genetic elements in the genome
  2. Identify regions with divergent sequence composition using programs such as Alien_hunter
  3. Phylogenetic analysis of individual genes

Analysis of the Las genome by the first two methods identifies two locations that appear derived from horizontally transferred genetic material

approximate coordinates in Las genome ( CP001677) IDed by Alien_hunter gene content
1..12500 yes (score = 38.8) predominantly phage
1182500..1226704 yes (score = 48.1) predominantly phage
