摘要：

Some recently published genome-wide analyses of orthologous genes have found plurality consensus support for fully or partially resolved tree topologies. These findings were interpreted to discount the prevalence of horizontal gene transfer and the observed consensus was suggested to reflect organismal history. In this article, we explore the claim that methodological differences might have given rise to the conflicting findings and we show that horizontal gene transfer makes different contributions to the evolution in different classes of prokaryotes.
