Evidence of HGT |
Virus turnover rate in ocean is rought 4 days. open ocean probabaly has 10 million per mililiter, 50 ml/mililiter in coastal ocean, 3 kinds of virus, Myovirus, Podovirus, Siphovirus, 1 - 3% of Synechococcus are visibily infected. |
| Local populations are the actively evolving units of a species locally adapted. | Lots of cell surface properties present a different face to virus or grazers. |
| Evolutionary trajectory and path, balance between the drift and mutation. | tRNA loci are usual insertion sites for HGT |
