Evolution of gene fusions: horizontal transfer versus independent events

BACKGROUND: Gene fusions can be used as tools for functional prediction and also as evolutionary markers. Fused genes often show a scattered phyletic distribution, which suggests a role for processes other than vertical inheritance in their evolution. RESULTS: The evolutionary history of gene fusion...
