  • A question that arises in analyzing eukaryotic sequences with strong matches to bacterial proteins, especially when the match is unique, is whether the gene in question truly was isolated from a eukaryote, or whether it represents a prokaryotic contaminant (any nucleic acid matches of ESTs to prokaryotes, which probably would be contaminants, were removed before database submission [ 28 ] ). Claims of nematode genes having been acquired by HGT [ 17 18 19 23 ] have addressed this issue in a number of ways.

  • Claims of HGT have frequently pivoted on incongruencies between a particular gene tree and the assumed underlying species tree.

  • Massive HGT between archaea and bacteria, particularly hyperthermophiles, has been suggested by genome comparisons [ 20, 21, 22, 23, 24].

  • It was suggested [ 3 ] that acquisition of these new functions (either by symbiosis or HGT) permitted previously free-living nematodes to expand their range into a new ecological niche (the plant) as a prelude to speciation into parasitic forms.

  • The number of final candidates listed in Table 1are candidate HGT genes after clustering.
