alienness : Rapid Detection of Candidate Horizontal Gene Transfers across the Tree of Life
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the transmission of genes between organisms by other means than parental to offspring inheritance. While it is prevalent in prokaryotes, HGT is less frequent in eukaryotes and particularly in Metazoa. Here, we propose Alienness, a taxonomy-aware web application a...Tags: alienness, Rapid, Detection, Candidate, Horizontal, Gene, Transfers, Tree, Life
