Mobile genetic elements in shaping Klebsiella pneumoniae pathogenicity [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Klebsiella pneumoniae has evolved from an opportunistic pathogen into a formidable global threat, with hypervirulent strains now causing severe infections in healthy individuals and carbapenem-resistant variants achieving mortality rates exceeding 42 ...

Mammalian small nucleolar RNAs are mobile genetic elements. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2006
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) of the H/ACA box and C/D box categories guide the pseudouridylation and the 2'-O-ribose methylation of ribosomal RNAs by forming short duplexes with their target.

Exploring Mobile Genetic Elements in Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
Abstract Members of the bacterial species Vibrio cholerae are known both as prominent constituents of marine environments and as the causative agents of cholera, a severe diarrheal disease. While strains responsible for cholera have been extensively studied over the past century, less is known about their environmental counterparts ...

Vancomycin Resistance in Enterococcus faecium from the Dallas, Texas, Area Is Conferred Predominantly on pRUM-Like Plasmids

mSphere, 2023
Vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREfm) is a significant public health concern because of limited treatment options. Genomic surveillance can be used to monitor VREfm transmission and evolution.

Bacterial chromosomal mobility via lateral transduction exceeds that of classical mobile genetic elements

Nature Communications, 2021
It is commonly thought that horizontal transfer of most bacterial chromosomal genes is limited, in comparison with the frequent transfer of mobile genetic elements. Humphrey et al.

The defense island repertoire of the Escherichia coli pan-genome.

PLoS Genetics, 2023
It has become clear in recent years that anti-phage defense systems cluster non-randomly within bacterial genomes in so-called "defense islands". Despite serving as a valuable tool for the discovery of novel defense systems, the nature and distribution ...

Mobile genetic elements – mechanism and consequences of transposition

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Retrotransposons represent a significant part of the genome in eukaryote organisms. With DNA transposons, they belong to mobile genetic elements. There are two classes of transposons, DNA transposons and retrotransposons.
