Descriptor English: Gene Transfer, Horizontal
Descriptor Spanish: Transferencia de Gen Horizontal
Descriptor transferencia génica horizontal
Entry term(s) recombinación interespecies
transferencia génica lateral
Scope note: Transmisión natural de información genética entre organismos, emparentados o sin parentesco, que sortea la transmisión de padres a hijos. Puede darse mediante procesos naturales como la CONJUGACIÓN GENÉTICA, la TRANSDUCCIÓN GENÉTICA y la TRANSFECCIÓN. Puede dar lugar a un cambio de la composición genética del organismo receptor (TRANSFORMACIÓN GENÉTICA).

Tree number(s): G05.728.390
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D022761
Scope note: The naturally occurring transmission of genetic information between organisms, related or unrelated, circumventing parent-to-offspring transmission. Horizontal gene transfer may occur via a variety of naturally occurring processes such as GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; and TRANSFECTION. It may result in a change of the recipient organism's genetic composition (TRANSFORMATION, GENETIC).
