The 86 pages that link to Horizontal gene transfer, each with the reason it gives.

• MicrosporidiaRelated: Gene transfers from hosts and other organisms have shaped some microsporidian genomes.

• Prokaryotic cellRelated: Prokaryotes can acquire genes from other cells, rapidly changing traits within populations.

• ActinomycetotaRelated: Gene exchange can spread antibiotic-resistance traits among actinomycetotans and other bacteria.

• Antibiotic use in livestockRelated: Resistance genes can spread between bacteria in animal guts through this process.

• EukaryotaRelated: Gene transfer between endosymbionts and hosts helped shape eukaryotic genomes.

• History of evolutionary thoughtRelated: It complicates strictly branching accounts of evolutionary history, especially for microbes.

• SymbiogenesisRelated: Genes from symbiotic partners can move into host genomes as integration proceeds.

• BioaugmentationRelated: Introduced microbes may exchange genes that affect contaminant metabolism or persistence.

• NeocallimastigomycotaRelated: Gene acquisitions from bacteria may have contributed to the fungi's plant-degrading enzyme repertoire.

• AquificotaRelated: Gene exchange can complicate evolutionary histories inferred for Aquificota.

• Environmental biotechnologyRelated: Introducing engineered or specialized microbes raises questions about gene movement in the environment.

• Evolution of bacteriaRelated: It lets bacteria acquire genes from distant lineages, rapidly spreading traits such as antibiotic resistance.

• Evolution of fungiRelated: Gene exchange has contributed to fungal adaptation, including traits for using new resources.

• Microbiological phenomenaRelated: It lets microbial traits spread across lineages, reshaping populations beyond ordinary reproduction.

• NanobdellatiRelated: Its contribution to gene exchange between Nanobdellati and their hosts remains uncertain.

• Non-cellular lifeRelated: Viruses can move genes between cellular hosts, linking acellular agents to cellular evolution.

• ParakaryonRelated: Gene exchange is one possible complication when interpreting a lineage with apparently mixed traits.

• ProtistologyRelated: Gene exchange complicates reconstruction of protist evolutionary histories.

• ThermoproteatiRelated: It complicates reconstruction of evolutionary relationships within archaeal lineages.
