The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis
BACKGROUND: It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms remain largely unknown. RESULTS: Choanoflagellates are phagotrophs and the clos...
