Horizontal Gene Transfer

Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material — other than from parent to offspring — to another organism, sometimes a distantly related one, without reproduction. Once this material is added to the recipient’s genome, it can be inherited by descent.

Genome Size
