Evolution of organisms, genomes and genes does not strictly follow a tree-like process; symbiosis, horizontal gene transfers and gene fusions build high level composite objects with components of phylogenetically distinct origins. Such processes have been called introgressive events and are significant in evolution. They are involved in some major evolutionary transitions such as eukaryogenesis, photosynthesis acquisition in eukaryotes and the origins of major archaeal clades. Eukaryogenesis would have involved (at least) two kinds of partners: an archaeon and an alpha-proteobacterium. Photosynthetic eukaryotes arose from the integration of a cyanobacterium into a eukaryotic cell and recent findings suggested that most archaeal lineages eme...
