Dear Peter,
Would appreciate a preprint of:

horizontal gene transfer during early evolution. Soc. Gen. Microbiol. 54,
in press.
Thanks, -Dick Gordon
Dear Colleague:
I've learned of your work and would appreciate this and a representative
set of your reprints to consider for my book, The Hierarchical Genome and
Ultraslow Differentiation Waves: Novel Unification of Development,
Genetics, and Evolution (Singapore: World Scientific), which I am winding
up. If you would like any of our reprints listed below, please just let me
know. Thank you for your consideration. Please send your e-mail address.
Best regards,
