FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on the theme of horizontal gene transfer. Although first described in the 1930s, it was not taken very seriously by biologists until about 1999, when it was increasingly realized that it played an important role in the evolution of many, if not all creatures. And that the main agents of this gene transfer were bacteria, jumping genes, and virus-like agents. Now it is accepted by the mainstream.
