This project investigates horizontal gene transfer in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to understand how new genes are integrated and stabilized within eukaryotic genomes. It aims to uncover the evolutionary mechanisms that enhance adaptability and flexibility in these organisms.
The emergence and acquisition of new genes play a crucial role in the evolution of eukaryotes, providing new functions that contribute to adapting to changing environments and conquering unexplored niches through cellular innovations.
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), defined as the acquisition of genetic material from different species, has been shown to play a key role in eukaryotic genome evolution. HGT, particularly from bacteria and viruses, provides unprecedented adaptive potential by introd…
