Evidence for extensive horizontal gene transfer from the draft genome of a tardigrade

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or the transfer of genes between species, has been recognized recently as more pervasive than previously suspected. Here, we report evidence for an unprecedented degree of HGT into an animal genome, based on a draft genome of a tardigrade,Hypsibius dujardini. Tardigra...
