Abstract Horizontal gene transfer drives rapid evolutionary innovation, yet well-substantiated cases are largely confined to prokaryotes. Eukaryote-to-eukaryote transfer remains exceptionally rare, and direct genome-scale demonstrations are absent. Here, inspired by endosymbiotic genome acquisition, we show that mammalian cells can initiate genome-scale horizontal gene transfer through phagocytic uptake of intact algal cells, albeit at a much lower frequency than cell fusion.
