Horizontal Gene Transfer: Mechanisms, Methods, Microbial Evolution and Metagenomic Analysis
Horizontal gene transfer enables microorganisms to acquire genetic material from other organisms outside normal parent-to-offspring inheritance. Learn how conjugation, transformation, transduction, plasmids, transposons, integrons, and other mobile genetic elements contribute to microbial evolution and antimicrobial resistance, and how metagenomics can investigate genetic mobility.
