Formally, this would eliminate the need for HGT as an explanation of the tree topology for any of these new COGs.
Rather than multiple gene duplication events or convergent evolution, this suggests horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of arsC genes.
The most extensively studied HGT candidates are four genes encoding β-1,4-endoglucanase, initially identified in the cyst nematodes G. rostochiensis and H. glycines [ 18 19 ] . These four genes (NemaGene Contig IDs MI00537, MI01011, MI01381 and MI01842) [ 30 ] appear to define two sets of paralogs formed before divergence of the cyst and root-knot nematodes.
Claims of HGT have frequently pivoted on incongruencies between a particular gene tree and the assumed underlying species tree.
The latter were assumed to be infrequently transferred, but recent analyses reported them to be horizontally transferred among bacterial lineages [ 10 11 ] . The initiation factor IF-2 in Halobacterium sp. was previously shown to have strong similarity to the initiation factor IF-2 from Bacteria [ 49 ] . Most of the genes that group Halobacterium with the mesophilic bacteria encode functions that were postulated to be frequently exchanged [ 50 ] . While no meta-category appears exempt from HGT, some functions appear to be more often transferred than others (cf.
