the proposal that genes whose products join many interactions, such as information-processing genes, are less often transferred between genomes.

In microbiology, complexity hypothesis of horizontal gene transfer refers to the proposal that genes whose products join many interactions, such as information-processing genes, are less often transferred between genomes. This meaning comes from Jain (1999) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
