Write a 2-page term paper on the topic Horizontal Gene Transfer in Pathogen Evolution. The term paper must have a more narrow focus within the broad scope of this topic.
Requirements:
• Must cite at least 5 original research articles published in peer-reviewed journals.
“Original research” means that the article is not a review article, but rather an article that reports new scientific findings. If, in addition, you want to cite review articles, you can, but they will not count towards the 5 citation requirement.
Preprints may be admissible, but please consult with the instructor if you are planning to include one
• Your term paper has to be your original writing. Plagiarism or text produced by ChatGPT or other LLMs will is NOT acceptable. See a definition of plagiarism here. If you would like to use LLMs in your work, please discuss this possibility with the instructor.
• The paper must be properly formatted and it must look neat. The following items must all be present in this order. Paper Title, Author, Date, Main text (you can add subheadings in the main text if you want, e.g., Introduction, Conclusions, etc), References. For references, use a proper citation style (I prefer the Vancouver style but other citation styles are fine).
• The 2-page limit does not include references.
