Here, we analyzed putative instances of transfer (i.e., those with no phylogenetic support).
Using this approach, we identified many new instances of transfer into genomes, including those of Wolbachia species, Anaplasma species, Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique and other species of Rickettsia.
In the current study, we have detected these new instances of transfer by developing an automated approach for the detection of HGT from complete proteomes.
We analyzed 42 instances of HGT with phylogenetic support and identified new instances of transfer into the genome of R. bellii from different bacterial phyla, including Firmicutes, Nitrospirales, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria (Beta and Gamma).
We considered the remaining cases (1,476 cases) with no phylogenetic support to be putative instances of transfer, and these were analyzed further by searching for GO terms associated with their potential functions.
Complex feedbacks between them are possible; for instance, costs of transfer may limit the dispersal propensity [21].
This arrangement of related agents may be considered (from the information flow modeling point of view) as an instance of message transfer infrastructure [10].
Self-taught clustering (STC) is an instance of unsupervised transfer learning, which aims at clustering a small collection of unlabeled data in the target domain with the help of a large amount of unlabeled data in the source domain.
As an instance of the transfer learning, the self-taught learning approach can be particularly useful when the amount of target data is too small, but other raw data from the same "type" or "modality" are sufficiently available.
These authors also inferred another instance of horizontal transfer from arthropods to reptiles based on similarity between Bov-B from V. ammodytes and other reptiles, and partial sequences from B. mori they named Bombyx Bov-B/RTE (equivalent to our full-length BmRTE-d24 and -d25).
