MindMap Gallery The mechanism and significance of horizontal gene transfer
This mind map introduces horizontal gene transfer (HGT). HGT refers to the direct transfer of genes between different species. Its mechanisms are diverse, such as transformation, transduction, etc. The factors that affect HGT include environment, host characteristics, etc. HGT is of great significance in promoting biological evolution and increasing genetic diversity. There are numerous instances of HGT, such as the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria through HGT, which poses challenges to medicine and highlights the importance of HGT research.
