High number of HGTs for one species compared to other species

[kcamnairb]

Hi Qiyun,

I've used HGTector to look for HGTs in 16 fungal species using the pre-built default database. I was surprised that one of the species, Byssochlamys AF001, had so many more HGTs than any of the others. I copied a table below. Does this seem like it could be real to you or is this some kind of artifact? Could it be caused by not having enough closely related organisms in the database or maybe bad gene predictions from this species?

Thanks, Brian
