GENEMATES: AN R PACKAGE FOR DETECTING HORIZONTAL GENE CO-TRANSFER BETWEEN BACTERIA USING GENE-GENE ASSOCIATIONS CONTROLLED FOR POPULATION STRUCTURE

GeneMates: an R package for detecting horizontal gene co-transfer between bacteria using gene-gene associations controlled for population structure

Abstract Background Horizontal gene transfer contributes to bacterial evolution through mobilising genes across various taxonomical boundaries.It is frequently mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which may capture, maintain, and rearrange mobile genes and co-mobilise them between bacteria, causing horizontal gene co-transfer (HGcoT).This ph
