Boto L, Pineda M, Pineda R
FEBS J . 2019 Sep; 286(20):3959-3967. PMID: 31495055
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is widespread among prokaryotes driving their evolution. In this paper, we review the potential impact in humans of the HGT between prokaryotes living in close association...

J Mol Evol . 2016 Apr; 82(4-5):173-5. PMID: 27075565
Three recent papers underline the importance of the host genomic background in allowing the stable maintenance of horizontally acquired genes. These studies suggest that post-transfer changes in both host genome...

J Biosci . 2015 May; 40(2):465-72. PMID: 25963270
Horizontal gene transfer has, over the past 25 years, become a part of evolutionary thinking. In the present paper I discuss horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in relation to contingency, natural...

Boto L, Luis Martinez J
Genes (Basel) . 2014 Apr; 2(4):804-28. PMID: 24710293
Studies on the experimental evolution of microorganisms, on their in vivo evolution (mainly in the case of bacteria producing chronic infections), as well as the availability of multiple full genomic...

Proc Biol Sci . 2014 Jan; 281(1777):20132450. PMID: 24403327
Horizontal gene transfer is accepted as an important evolutionary force modulating the evolution of prokaryote genomes. However, it is thought that horizontal gene transfer plays only a minor role in...

Boto L, Cunha C, Doadrio I
Genet Mol Biol . 2011 Sep; 34(3):524-8. PMID: 21931529
A new microsatellite locus (SAS1) for Squalius alburnoides was obtained through cloning by serendipity. The possible usefulness of this new species-specific microsatellite in genetic studies of this hybrid-species complex, was...

Proc Biol Sci . 2009 Oct; 277(1683):819-27. PMID: 19864285
The contribution of horizontal gene transfer to evolution has been controversial since it was suggested to be a force driving evolution in the microbial world. In this paper, I review...

Conserv Biol . 2007 Feb; 21(1):168-80. PMID: 17298523
The Mesa Central of Mexico is of special conservation interest due to its high richness of freshwater fish species, of which the goodeines are one of the most representative groups....
