Gene Cluster Analysis Method Identifies Horizontally Transferred Genes with High Reliability and Indicates that They Provide the Main Mechanism of Operon Gain in 8 Species of {gamma}-Proteobacteria (2007)

Homma, Keiichi, Fukuchi, Satoshi, Nakamura, Yoji, Gojobori, Takashi, Nishikawa, Ken

The formation mechanism of operons remains unresolved: operons may form by rearrangements within a genome or by acquisition of genes from other species, that is, horizontal gene transfer (HGT). One...

Gene cluster analysis method reliably identifies horizontally transferred genes and reveals their involvement in operon formation (2006)

Homma, Keiichi, Fukuchi, Satoshi, Nakamura, Yoji, Gojobori, Takashi, Nishikawa, Ken

The formation mechanism of operons remains controversial despite the proposal of many models. Although acquisition of genes from other species, horizontal gene transfer, is considered to occur,...
