Horizontal gene transfer and the evolution of transcriptional regulation in Escherichia coli

BACKGROUND: Most bacterial genes were acquired by horizontal gene transfer from other bacteria instead of being inherited by continuous vertical descent from an ancient ancestor. To understand how the regulation of these acquired genes evolved, we examined the evolutionary histories of transcription...
