Figure 4

Metazoan chimeric evolution. The figure represents chimeric nature of metazoan genomes with horizontal gene transfer, retrotransposons, and hybridization events. Horizontal gene transfer from (A) Bacteria, (B) Retrotransposons, (C) Fungi, (D) Plants and (E) Hybridization between closely related species (indicated by blue arrows).
