full title, "Mystery of our 145 'alien' genes: Scientists discover some DNA is NOT from our ancestors -- and say it could change how we think about evolution".
HGT is thought to play an important role in the evolution of some animals, including nematode worms which have acquired genes from microorganisms and plants, and some beetles that gained bacterial genes to produce enzymes for digesting coffee berries.

Brilliant (and very funny) theory that needs to be tested. But I may never look at my salad the same.

I volunteer to be the one to intermix DNA with that creature from outerpsace.
It’s a dangerous and thankless task — but I’m willing to do it. For all of us.

Genesis 6:2
“That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.”
