Eukaryotic association module in phage WO genomes from Wolbachia

Viruses commonly exchange genetic material with their hosts, but not with species from other domains of life. Here, the authors find that the bacteriophage WO of Wolbachiacontains eukaryotic-like genes, implicating lateral genetic transfer between eukaryotes and viruses infecting bacteria.
