Abstract
Horizontal transfer of genes has sometimes been viewed as a nuisance for the work of understanding the evolutionary history of lineages. Recent work has shown that clever analysis of inter-lineage gene transfer is productive and has tremendous explanatory power, in particular, for niche adaptation. These studies alter our perception of what are the fundamental units of evolution and selection.
