Although common among bacteria, lateral gene transfer--the movement of genes between distantly related organisms--is thought to occur only rarely between bacteria and multicellular eukaryotes. However, the presence of endosymbionts, such as Wolbachia pipientis, within some eukaryotic germlines may facilitate bacterial gene transfers to eukaryotic h...
