From: Horizontal gene transfer in bdelloid rotifers is ancient, ongoing and more frequent in species from desiccating habitats

Percentage GC content of foreign genes in relation to phylogenetic distribution. GC content displayed as percentage GC content of foreign genes minus the background average GC of transcripts. Transcripts were classified as unique to species, to sister species, the genus Rotaria or found in both Rotaria and Adineta. GC content declines towards background levels in foreign genes with an earlier inferred entry into bdelloid genomes
