Lateral Gene Transfer Mechanisms and Pan-genomes in Eukaryotes.
Lateral Gene Transfer Mechanisms and Pan-genomes in Eukaryotes. Trends Parasitol. 2020 Aug 19;: Authors: Sibbald SJ, Eme L, Archibald JM, Roger AJ Abstract Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is well known as an important driver of genome evolution in bacteria and archaea, but its importance in eukaryote evolution has yet to be fully elucidated. There is …

Re-evaluating the relationship between missing heritability and the microbiome.
Related Articles Re-evaluating the relationship between missing heritability and the microbiome. Microbiome. 2020 Jun 08;8(1):87 Authors: Douglas GM, Bielawski JP, Langille MGI Abstract Human genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have recurrently estimated lower heritability estimates than familial studies. Many explanations have been suggested to explain these lower estimates, including that a substantial proportion of genetic variation …
