HIGHER ANIMALS. “It is widely accepted that eukaryotic nuclear genomes contain several genes of microbial origin that have been transferred from mitochondrial and plastid ancestors via ancient endosymbiotic events. But a recent study also highlights the role of horizontal gene transfer modulating the evolution of other eukaryotic genomes in a different way: by acquisition of novel genes from living endosymbionts.”
