Complexity, connectivity, and duplicability as barriers to lateral gene transfer

BACKGROUND: Lateral gene transfer is a major force in microbial evolution and a great source of genetic innovation in prokaryotes. Protein complexity has been claimed to be a barrier for gene transfer, due to either the inability of a new gene's encoded protein to become a subunit of an existin...
