LAST BURST. “Thus, the acquisition of numerous genes from the proto-mitochondrion comes across as the last major burst of HGT (other than the acquisition of chloroplast genes at the base of the Archaeplastida), although numerous lineage-specific acquisitions of relatively small but biologically consequential groups of bacterial genes as well as eukaryote-to-eukaryote transfers undoubtedly occurred at later stages.” (HGT = horizontal gene transfer).
