This project investigates horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotes, focusing on a newly discovered group of transposable elements called Starships in filamentous fungi. By developing a model system, the project aims to observe and understand the mechanisms of gene transfer and its implications for fungal adaptation and e…
Current theory asserts that eukaryotic evolution is almost exclusively mediated through vertical transmission, from parent to offspring, and relegates horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the movement of genes between individuals, to an extraordinarily rare event.
In recent years, mounting evidence from high-quality genome sequencing has forced the field to consider that HGT is likely a persistent occurrence in eukaryotic evolution.
However, as no active mechanism for HGT is known in eukaryotes, the…
