Problem related to horizontal gene transfer


Problem: Sometimes horizontal gene transfer is suspected even when the percent G + C of an area of interest is not substantially different from the G + C content of the core genome. Give an example of how sequence information regarding a certain gene could be used to infer that that sequence was acquired by some form of horizontal transfer. Hint: remember that SSU rRNA is generally used to deduce phylogenetic relationships between organisms.
