Biased gene transfer and its implications for the concept of lineage Cheryl P Andam, J Peter Gogarten Biology Direct 2011, 6:47 (23 September 2011) This article is part of a collection on Beyond the tree of life Evolutionary histories of three aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases show that the concept of organismal lineage in the prokaryotic world is defined by vertical inheritance and horizontal gene transfer biased towards close relatives.

Research article
Assembling networks of microbial genomes using linear programming Catherine Holloway, Robert G Beiko BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:360 (20 November 2010) An approach that uses linear programming and BLAST scores to capture ‘between-genome’ relationships can uncover vertical and lateral relationships among genomes and serve as an effective inference tool in its own right.

Kristen S Swithers, J Peter Gogarten, Gregory P Fournier Journal of Biology 2009, 8:54 (13 July 2009) Gogarten and colleagues review new research by Koonin and colleagues in Journal of Biology and explain how the obstacle of horizontal gene transfer can be circumvented to reconstruct the prokaryotic Tree of Life.
