    Horizontal Gene Transfer

    Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic information across two unicellular or multicellular organisms. This is one of the driving forces behind bacteria that become resistant to antibiotics, as bacteria with resistance spread the resistance to other bacteria via transduction, transformation, or conjugation. While common in bacteria, HGT is a rare occurrence in multicellular organisms. One example is thought to be the transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome.
