5B) would be expected to lead to significant amelioration of obese phenotypes, consistent with effects of adrenalectomy on other forms of obesity [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] . Indeed adrenalectomy initially led to a greater loss of body weight after surgery in the diet-induced obese mice (results in text above).
However, analyses in which synteny and phylogenetic information were also considered suggest that codon bias and G+C content are poor indicators of HGT [ 45 ] . A role for 'amelioration', whereby structural characteristics of the foreign gene are eventually homogenized to resemble those of the recipient species, has been assumed, but the rate was postulated to be the same as the rate of random, forward mutation [ 42 ] . In addition to alterations in codon usage (as reflected in G+C content), for a bacterial gene to function efficiently in a nematode presumably requires acquisition of regulatory elements (including a promoter) and structural elements (including a poly(A) tail and, optionally, a trans -spliced leader).
It is possible that a careful phylogenetic analysis comparing rates of evolution of Meloidogyne genes acquired by HGT with those present in the more ancient nematode lineage, might shed light on the rate of amelioration of gene structure following inter-kingdom HGT.
"[D]espite the impossible circumstances under which they were written, they are an extraordinary and moving record of a courageous, compassionate and obstinate mind dedicated to democratic principles and the amelioration of the Chinese people's harsh fate" (Judith Shapiro, the New York Times Book Review ).
It is expected that LGT would most easily be recognized if it occurred relatively recently before passage of sufficient time for amelioration of alien characteristics to those of the host genome, for example GC content.
