This project investigates horizontal gene transfer in bacteria, focusing on the evolutionary factors that influence gene transfer between species. It aims to quantify the selection pressures on transferred genes and understand the environmental impacts on gene transfer dynamics.
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a form of genic inheritance that occurs between individuals in a population or between species rather than from parent to offspring. HGT is most prevalent in bacteria, where it is an important source of novel metabolic pathways, pathogenicity factors, and antibiotic resistance.In spite of the importance of HGT, we understand little about the evolutionary barriers to HGT.
This proposal will outline a systematic experimental approach to elucidate factors that sel…
