gene transfer, horizontal

Preferred Label : gene transfer, horizontal;

MeSH definition : The naturally occurring transmission of genetic information between organisms, related or unrelated, circumventing parent-to-offspring transmission. Horizontal gene transfer may occur via a variety of naturally occurring processes such as GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; and TRANSFECTION. It may result in a change of the recipient organism's genetic composition (TRANSFORMATION, GENETIC).;

MeSH synonym : gene transfers, lateral; lateral gene transfer; gene transfer, lateral; lateral gene transfers; horizontal gene transfer;

MeSH hyponym : recombination, interspecies; Interspecies Recombination; Recombination, Interspecific; Interspecific Recombination;

MeSH annotation : note category: do not confuse with GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES;
