Horizontal Gene Transfer [HGT]

Greetings CATALIST and ASTARIX 2.0 Subscribers,


Now that I have retired from secondary-school science teaching, specialising in the teaching of Year 11 and 12 Physics, I stimulate my curious science mind with emailed articles from COSMOS magazine.


For example, URL 1: https://cosmosmagazine.com/biology/jumping-gene-flash-horizontal-transfer-is-a-major-evolution-driver <https://cosmosmagazine.com/biology/jumping-gene-flash-horizontal-transfer-is-a-major-evolution-driver>
In my Australian Science 10 interactive PDF Module 2 on the Theory of Biological Evolution, uploaded to ASTA MOODLE URL 2: http://moodle.asta.edu.au <http://moodle.asta.edu.au/>, there is a small section on Antibiotic Resistance. I did not mention HGT in Y 10, Module 2.


We may like to learn more about Horizontal Gene Transfer at these Websites?

The above websites could be a useful resource for Biology and Human Biology?
