How can you use “lgt” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Detailed studies have not yet been done to see whether the CDC gene cluster originated via LGT or reflects ancient paralogy.
Why the generation of anthranilate under these conditions would be of value is unknown, but phylogenetic trees clearly show phnA/phnB to be xenologs originating from the enteric lineage via LGT (G.X.
P. stutzeri has been characterized as having an exceptionally plastic genome with high genotypic diversity within the species [ 33 ] . LGT events are thought to contribute to this plasticity and, consistent with this, many P. stutzeri strains also exhibit a natural transformation ability [ 34 ] . The fact that incorporation of DNA into the genome through homologous recombination requires a region of homology usually limits LGT mediated by natural transformation to closely related species [ 34 35 ] . The ThiF domains of the high homology group do provide a region of homology suitable for homologous recombination.
Phylogenetic incongruities that involve such analogs can pose great difficulties in distinguishing LGT from vertical progressions of differential analog losses in different lineages.
The incongruence between the SSU and the ThiF domain trees suggests that Ps-moeZ may have been acquired by P. stutzeri strain KC by lateral gene transfer (LGT) from an ancestor more closely related to mycobacteria and cyanobacteria than to proteobacteria.
