The FDA assertion that horizontal gene transfer does not occur between transgenic plants and microorganisms has stimulated a number of investigations, centering on two types of experiments ...

I just think the lesson is that DNA really gets around. —Nancy Moran, University of Texas at Austin If Li had been studying bacteria, finding this kind of lateral or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) ...

"We were also able to demonstrate that horizontal gene transfer, a phenomenon that describes the incorporation of foreign genes from bacteria into the genome, is quite common in leaf beetles.

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.

Grafting two transgenic plants triggers lateral gene transfer at the graft site but does not elicit long-distance transport of DNA into the scion or root of the graft. Initially Ralph Bock's ...
