摘要: Surrogate methods for detecting lateral gene transfer are those that do not require inference of phylogenetic trees. Herein I apply four such to identify open reading frames (ORFs) in the genome Escherichia coli K12 may have arisen by transfer. Only two these detect same ORFs more frequently than expected chance, whereas several intersections contain many fewer expected. Each detects a different non-random set ORFs. The relative ages; testing this hypothesis will rigorous
