VECTORS can propagate jumping genes. “The lateral transfer of genetic information across species is common in bacteria, but rare among vertebrates—or so scientists believed. Now, researchers have demonstrated that a particular DNA sequence has likely jumped several times between the genomes of reptiles, marsupials, and mammals.” The vector may be a tick that allows promiscuous genes to cross species barriers. ”
