Newly acquired genetic material has been considered as a driving force in evolution for prokaryotic genomes for many years, with recent technical developments advancing this field further. However, the extent and implications of gene transfer between prokaryotes and eukaryotes still raise controversies. This multi-authored volume introduces various means by which DNA can be exchanged, covers gene transfer between prokaryotes and their viruses as well as between bacteria and eukaryotes, such as fungi, plants and animals, and addresses the role of horizontal gene transfer in human diseases. Aspects discussed also include the relevance for virulence and drug resistance development on one hand, and for the occurrence of naturally derived antibiotics and other secondary metabolites on the other hand. This book offers new insights to anyone interested in genome evolution and the exchange of DNA between the different domains of life, the genetic toolkit for adaptation and the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria. .GeneticsDrug resistanceEvolutionary biologyMicrobial ecologyMedical geneticsGenetic engineeringGenetics and Genomicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32000Drug Resistancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16020Evolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Microbial Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082Gene Functionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12030Genetic Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12037Genetics.Drug resistance.Evolutionary biology.Microbial ecology.Medical genetics.Genetic engineering.Genetics and Genomics.Drug Resistance.Evolutionary Biology.Microbial Ecology.Gene Function.Genetic Engineering.574.873282572.877Villa Tomás Gedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtViñas Migueledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910349447603321Horizontal gene transfer1123575UNINA
