Which program is good for finding the core genome and singleton genes of mulitple chloroplast genomes?

Dear all, I am interested in finding the core genome and singleton genes from a dataset of multiple chloroplast genomes (n=12). I don't have much experience in bidirectional BLAST. Can anyone...

Can transcriptional elongation factor 1 alpha (tef) be used as a phylogenetic marker for protists and metazoa?

Hello, I know tef can be used as a phylogenetic marker for fungi. But what about other organisms? For eukaryotes, 18S rRNA is definitely too conservative in many cases. By the way, COI is used in...

Would horizontal gene transfer happen on house-keeping/ultraconservative genes?

Hi guys, just a random question. As HGT frequently happen in microbial world, could house-keeping genes, e.g. gyrB, COI, rRNA be horizontally transferred between microbes? Any input is...
