A global survey of prokaryotic genomes reveals the eco-evolutionary pressures driving horizontal gene transfer - Nature Ecology & Evolution
The authors analyse 8,790 prokaryotic pangenomes to identify the ecological variables associated with recent versus old horizontal gene transfer events, finding that gene transfers are more common amo...

By analyzing marine metagenome-assembled genomes, we identified widespread evidence for HGT across marine prokaryotes and found the association with co-occurrence remains robust after accounting for other factors!

Co-occurring microbes have previously been found to undergo more HGT, but other factors could explain this observation (esp. phylo distance and similar env pressures).
