DOI: 10.1002/smll.202301177
Abstract: Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) coexist with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Whether GQDs influence ARG spread needs investigation, since the resulting development of multidrug-resistant pathogens would threaten human health. This study investigates the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-017-0943-z
Abstract: The increasing problem of bed bugs requires the development of new control strategies, and insect pathogenic fungi can contribute towards management. We used laboratory bioassays with Isaria fumosoroseus, Lecanicillium muscarium and Beauveria bassiana to evaluate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10709-021-00120-y
Abstract: Horizontal transfer in Drosophila has been inferred for several families of transposable elements. Specifically, the retroelement roo has been suggested to have been horizontally transferred between the species D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. sechellia and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.08.044
Abstract: Transgene expression from the plastid (chloroplast) genome provides unique advantages, including high levels of foreign protein accumulation, convenient transgene stacking in operons, and increased biosafety due to exclusion of plastids from pollen transmission [1, 2].… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-07886-2
Abstract: Molecular characterisation has convincingly demonstrated some types of horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotes, but nuclear gene transfer between distantly related eukaryotic groups appears to have been rare. For angiosperms (flowering plants), nuclear gene transfer events… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/20013078.2019.1643214
Abstract: ABSTRACT Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) retrotransposons replicate through a copy-and-paste mechanism using an RNA intermediate. However, little is known about the physical transmission of retrotransposon RNA between cells. To examine the horizontal transfer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkab1217
Abstract: Abstract Horizontal transfer of the integrative and conjugative element ICEMlSymR7A converts non-symbiotic Mesorhizobium spp. into nitrogen-fixing legume symbionts. Here, we discover subpopulations of Mesorhizobium japonicum R7A become epigenetically primed for quorum-sensing (QS) and QS-activated horizontal… read more here.
