IMPORTED GENES IN ROTIFER. “A. vaga has been subject to horizontal gene transfer as up to 8% of its genes are likely of non-metazoan origin, a frequency as high as reported for some bacteria. Frequent genomic rearrangements, gene conversion and horizontal gene transfers likely contribute to diversification and homogenization in the absence of sex, thereby revealing that sexual reproduction is not required for evolutionary success and persistence.”
