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.

Discovery of multiple anti-CRISPRs highlights anti-defense gene clustering in mobile genetic elements

Nature Communications, 2020
Mobile genetic elements have evolved anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins to bypass the immunity provided by prokaryotic CRISPR–Cas systems. Here, the authors identify 11 type I Acrs encoded on mobile genetic elements, and show that acr loci neighborhoods can be ...

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.
