Uneven distribution of prokaryote-derived horizontal gene transfer in fungi: a lifestyle-dependent phenomenon

ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in fungi is less understood despite its significance in prokaryotes. In this study, we systematically searched for HGT events in 829 representative fungal genomes. Using a combination of sequence similarity and phylogeny-based approaches, we detected 20,093 pr...
