Module 8:  Horizontal Gene Transfer

Genes aren't as fixed as you might think.  It's possible that an organism can pick up genes from a completely species.   You can test if the gene you're working on might have some interesting ancestral connections.   The guide for this is in Dropbox (you don't need an account in Dropbox to get these, but it's handy free cloud storage.)  The guide can be downloaded here.
