The transferome of metabolic genes explored: analysis of the horizontal transfer of enzyme encoding genes in unicellular eukaryotes

John W Whitaker, Glenn A McConkey, David R Westhead Genome Biology 2009, 10:R36 (15 April 2009)

Metabolic network analysis in multiple eukaryotes identifies how horizontal and endosymbiotic gene transfer of metabolic enzyme-encoding genes leads to functional gene gain during evolution.

Evidence for horizontal transfer of a secondary metabolite gene cluster between fungi

Nora Khaldi, Jérôme Collemare, Marc-Henri Lebrun, Kenneth H Wolfe Genome Biology 2008, 9:R18 (24 January 2008)

Phylogenetic and comparative genomic analysis of orthologs of the Magnaporthe grisea ACE1 cluster reveals evidence for horizontal transfer of part of this cluster from an M. grisea-like ancestor into an ancestor of Aspergillus clavatus.
