LATERAL GENE TRANSFER generated evolutionarily important fungal antibiotic defense chemicals across 100 species. “Horizpntal transfer of gene clusters may have been a big player not only in the evolution of bacteria but also in more complex organisms. Our discovery that one of the largest gene clusters responsible for making such a poison moved intact between species suggests that horizontal transfers of wholesale pathways may have contributed significantly to the generation of diversity.””
