I also found that paper, that the foreign DNA in Tardigrades was some incredible percentage, but later they discovered it was just the contamination. I was sad :(
Anyway, upvote - great series.
Reference for the newer article about HGT that says the oposite:
Koutsovoulos, Georgios, et al. "No evidence for extensive horizontal gene transfer in the genome of the tardigrade Hypsibius dujardini." Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 113.18 (2016): 5053-5058.
