Figure 1From: Complexity, connectivity, and duplicability as barriers to lateral gene transferAlternative scenarios for the effect of complexity and duplicability on lateral gene transfer. (a) Complexity could be operating directly (solid line) on LGT or indirectly (dotted line) through its effect on duplicability; (b) Complexity and duplicability are correlated (dotted line), and each is effecting LGT independently.Back to article page
