Multiple phenotypic changes associated with large-scale horizontal gene transfer.

Multiple phenotypic changes associated with large-scale horizontal gene transfer.

Horizontal gene transfer often leads to phenotypic changes within recipient organisms independent of any immediate evolutionary benefits. While secondary phenotypic effects of horizontal transfer (i.e., changes in growth rates) have been demonstrated and studied across a variety of systems using rel...
