Targeted Enrichment and Sequencing of Recent Endosymbiont-Host Lateral Gene Transfers
Abstract Lateral gene transfer (LGT) from microbial symbionts to invertebrate animals is described at an increasing rate, particularly between Wolbachia endosymbionts and their diverse invertebrate hosts. We sought to assess the use of a capture system to cost-effectively sequence such LGT from the...
