Biased gene transfer and its implications for the concept of lineage Cheryl P Andam, J Peter Gogarten Biology Direct 2011, 6:47 (23 September 2011) This article is part of a collection on Beyond the tree of life Evolutionary histories of three aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases show that the concept of organismal lineage in the prokaryotic world is defined by vertical inheritance and horizontal gene transfer biased towards close relatives.

Opinion
The fundamental units, processes and patterns of evolution, and the Tree of Life conundrum Eugene V Koonin, Yuri I Wolf Biology Direct 2009, 4:33 (29 September 2009) This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150... A tree is a natural representation of evolution owing to the inherent tree-like character of the replication process but the fundamental units of evolution amenable to tree analysis seem to be individual genetic elements rather than complete genomes.
