Concerted gene recruitment in early plant evolution

Jinling Huang, J Peter Gogarten Genome Biology 2008, 9:R109 (8 July 2008)

Analyses of the red algal Cyanidioschyzon genome identified 37 genes that were acquired from non-organellar sources prior to the split of red algae and green plants.

A complex and punctate distribution of three eukaryotic genes derived by lateral gene transfer

Matthew B Rogers, Russell F Watkins, James T Harper, Dion G Durnford, Michael W Gray, Patrick J Keeling BMC Evolutionary Biology 2007, 7:89 (11 June 2007)

Seemingly simple cases of lateral gene transfer have been revealed as more complex with greater taxonomic sampling, suggesting many bacterial genes within eukaryotic genomes may be found sporadically in distantly related eukaryotes, in a 'punctate' distribution.
