However, little attention has been given to this phenomenon among eukaryotic species mainly due to the lower proportion of these events. In the last years, a vertiginous amount of new HT events involving eukaryotic species was reported in the literature, highlighting the need of a common repository to keep the scientific community up to date and describe overall trends. Recently, we published the first HT database focused on HT of transposable elements among eukaryotes: the Horizontal Transposon Transfer DataBase: Database URL: (http:\/\/lpa.saogabriel.unipampa.edu.br: 8080\/httdatabase\/). Here, we present new features and updates of this unique database: (i) its expansion to include virus-host exchange of genetic material, which we called Horizontal Virus Transfer (HVT) and (ii) the availability of a web server for HT detection, where we implemented the online version of vertical and horizontal inheritance consistence analysis (VHICA), an R package developed for HT detection. These improvements will help researchers to navigate through known HVT cases, take data-informed decision and export figures based on keywords searches. Moreover, the availability of the VHICA as an online tool will make this software easily reachable even for researchers with no or little computation knowledge as well as foster our capability to detect new HT events in a wide variety of taxa.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Database URL: http:\/\/lpa.saogabriel.unipampa.edu.br:8080\/httdatabase\/<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/database\/bax102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]],"date-time":"2017-12-15T22:42:02Z","timestamp":1513377722000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["HTT-DB: new features and updates"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2018","author":[{"given":"Bruno Reis","family":"Dotto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus S\u00e3o Gabriel, Universidade Federal do Pampa, Avenida Antonio Trilha, 1847, S\u00e3o Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, 97300-000"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evelise Leis","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pos Graduation in Biological Sciences, Universidade Federal do Pampa, Avenida Antonio Trilha, 1847, S\u00e3o Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, 97300-000"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandre Freitas","family":"da Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pos Graduation in Biosciences and Health Biotechnology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute (IAM), Avenida Professor Moraes Rego, s\/n, Recife, Pernambuco, 50740-465"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Filipe Zimmer","family":"Dezordi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus S\u00e3o Gabriel, Universidade Federal do Pampa, Avenida Antonio Trilha, 1847, S\u00e3o Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, 97300-000"},{"name":"Pos Graduation in Biosciences and Health Biotechnology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute (IAM), Avenida Professor Moraes Rego, s\/n, Recife, Pernambuco, 50740-465"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulo Marcos","family":"Pinto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus S\u00e3o Gabriel, Universidade Federal do Pampa, Avenida Antonio Trilha, 1847, S\u00e3o Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, 97300-000"},{"name":"Pos Graduation in Biological Sciences, Universidade Federal do Pampa, Avenida Antonio Trilha, 1847, S\u00e3o Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, 97300-000"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tulio de Lima","family":"Campos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioinformatic Core, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute (IAM), Avenida Professor Moraes Rego, s\/n, Recife, Pernambuco, 50740-465"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio Mauro","family":"Rezende","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute (IAM), Avenida Professor Moraes Rego, s\/n, Recife, Pernambuco, 50740-465"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1419-5713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel da Luz","family":"Wallau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute (IAM), Avenida Professor Moraes Rego, s\/n, Recife, Pernambuco, 50740-465"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020050806180596600_bax102-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"341","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-genet-110711-155529","article-title":"Evolutionary implications of horizontal gene transfer","volume":"46","author":"Syvanen","year":"2012","journal-title":"Annu.
