RESUMO
Contrary to previous hypotheses that methods for identifying laterally transferred genes cannot detect genes with similar base composition to that of the donor organism, it is suggested that the number of laterally transferred genes has not been underestimated and that laterally transferred genes fit the description of lambdoid phage genes called 'morons'.
