What is Horizontal Gene Transfer?

  • A Horizontal Gene Transfer (sometimes called lateral gene transfer or sideways gene transfer) is the passing of one or more genes through routes other than parent-to-offspring. In this animation you will learn what that looks like and how it effects evolution.

    Would be cool if you mentioned some examples of horzontal gene transfer happening in animals or plants.
    IIRC there's a species of sea slug that uses chloroplasts from its food, and has a gene that helps with keeping the chloroplasts alive that is identical to a certain species of algae.
    Additionally retroviruses, when they infect the gametes are another horizontal gene transfer example that we humans have (multiple of them even)

    Is there any way of scientific research and experiment that few species multiple genes are intentionally transferred to human body and if he survives he can be grown into something else, after few years, with capacity and capabilities of the input sources and his own. Question is will he be able to survive such a artificial evolution. Was there any such experiment conducted earlier worldwide.

    So you're telling me, if a possum bites me in the ovary, and my ovary doesn't die, and the cells that have taken in the possum DNA aren't destroyed and are used in the conception of my child, this child will just have possum genes?? I'm sure it wouldn't be possum traits because possums have very different gene patterns to humans but like... I'm sure there's something out there about a sort of lock and key mechanism where stuff like that doesn't happen. Like I don't think we have the full story here. It just seems highly unlikely for someone to be able to just inject orange juice into my ovary and then my kid has orange genes, or for me to scratch my knee on a raspberry stem and have raspberry genes in my knee cells for the rest of my life when the cells that take in raspberry DNA keep replicating the raspberry DNA when they replicate themselves.

      Horizontal gene transfer is "single use" for animals and plants if the new genes don't end up in the germline (ex. testicles or ovaries) because that's where the DNA copies that get passed on to children are. The same goes for mutations. It doesn't matter if your eyelids or tongue had mutations or horizontal transfers... the changes won't get passed on to children (inheritance).
