Horizontally Acquired Genes Are Often Shared between Closely Related Bacterial Species
- BiologyFront. Microbiol.
- 2017
This work uses a pangenome-based approach to identify genes that were horizontally acquired by four closely related bacterial species, belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, and finds that a high percent of horizontally acquired genes are shared among these closely related species.
