Integrated mobile genetic elements in Thaumarchaeota [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2019 Summary To explore the diversity of mobile genetic elements (MGE) associated with archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota, we exploited the property of most MGE to integrate into the genomes of their hosts. Integrated MGE (iMGE) were identified in 20 thaumarchaeal genomes amounting to 2 Mbp of mobile thaumarchaeal ...

Identification of mobile genetic elements with geNomad
Nature Biotechnology, 2023 Abstract Identifying and characterizing mobile genetic elements in sequencing data is essential for understanding their diversity, ecology, biotechnological applications and impact on public health. Here we introduce geNomad, a classification and annotation framework that combines information from gene content and

Neutral genomic microevolution of a recently emerged pathogen, salmonella enterica serovar agona [PDF]
, 2013 Salmonella enterica serovar Agona has caused multiple food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis since it was first isolated in 1952. We analyzed the genomes of 73 isolates from global sources, comparing five distinct outbreaks with sporadic infections as

Transfer of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
, 2017 Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with remarkable adaptive powers. Antibiotic-resistant clones rapidly emerge mainly by acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes from other S. aureus strains or even from other genera.

Mobile genetic elements of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010 Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus are successful as commensal organisms or pathogens in part because they adapt rapidly to selective pressures imparted by the human host. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play a central role in this adaptation process and are a means to transfer genetic information (DNA) among and within bacterial species ...
