Abstract

A new initiative provides comparative genomicists with a more complete picture of genome diversity. Here we discuss the improved sampling strategy.

Citing Articles

Recent events dominate interdomain lateral gene transfers between prokaryotes and eukaryotes and, with the exception of endosymbiotic gene transfers, few ancient transfer events persist.
