Melting Pot

In this minireview, we examine horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract and their role in the evolutionary adaptation of microorganisms to the gut environment. We explore the notion of the mammalian gut as a melting pot of genetic exchange, resulting in the large extent of HGT occurrence.
