CROSS SPECIES HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER. “Many instances of interdomain HGT involve transfers between bacteria and eukaryotes, with bacteria-to-eukaryote HGT being more frequent than transfers from eukaryotes-to-bacteria. So far, bacteria-to-animal transfers appear to be limited to invertebrate animals and are particularly prevalent from endosymbiotic bacteria to their host and from bacteria to asexual animals.”
