Biogeographical and phylogenetic constraints on horizontal gene transfer and genome evolution in Streptomyces
Janani Hariharan, Cheryl P. Andam, Daniel H. Buckley
This study investigates how phylogenetic and geographic factors constrain horizontal gene transfer in Streptomyces species, finding that core genome recombination is phylogenetically constrained while shell genes show geographic constraints.
