WIDE IMPACT ON EVOLUTION. “Here we provide an update on the trends characterizing HTT in eukaryotes, with an emphasis on plants and animals, and we compile a list of cases whereby a given TE shows evidence of HT and has had direct evolutionary consequences for the host lineage where it was introduced.” (TE = transposable elements, jumping genes); (HTT = horizontal transfer of TEs).
