Abstract. One phylogeny-based approach to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) detection entails comparing the topology of a gene tree to that of the species tree, and using their differ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in microbial genome diversiļ¬cation, and is claimed to be rampant among various groups of genes in bacteria. Further, HGT is a ma...
