Genome-Wide Survey of Donor Chromosomal Genes Involved in Trans-Kingdom Conjugation via the RP4-T4SS Machinery

Trans-kingdom conjugation (TKC)/inter-domain conjugation is a horizontal gene transfer phenomenon that transfers DNA from eubacteria to eukaryotes and archaebacteria via a type IV secretion system encoded in IncP1-type broad-host-range plasmids. Although TKC is considered a potential gene introducti...
