摘要
The various methods for detecting potential lateral gene transfer events typically uncover different sets of genes. Because the procedures used to recognize transferred genes ask different types of questions, the sets of genes identified by each procedure must be interpreted in the appropriate context. The integration of biological information, along with these analytical procedures, makes it possible to assess the total impact of lateral gene transfer on microbial genomes.
