Horizontal transfer of genetic elements generates variations of prokaryotes and their genomes. Comparative studies of genomes revealed that it frequently occurred during archaeal and bacterial evolution. The book introduces a variety of studies related to horizontal gene transfer, gene silencing, plasmids, phages, transposons, and the emergence of microbes that degrade man-made xenobiotics and have antimicrobial resistance. Written by leading researchers in DNA traffic, the book is a valuable guide to horizontal transfer for both young scientists and experts in the field.Microbial geneticsMicrobial genomicsMicrobial ecologyEvolutionary biologyBiodiversityDrug resistanceMicrobial Genetics and Genomicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32010Microbial Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082Evolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Biodiversityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031Drug Resistancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16020Microbial genetics.Microbial genomics.Microbial ecology.Evolutionary biology.Biodiversity.Drug resistance.Microbial Genetics and Genomics.Microbial Ecology.Evolutionary Biology.Biodiversity.Drug Resistance.579.135Nishida Hiromiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOshima Takuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910350360003321DNA Traffic in the Environment1994025UNINA
