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.

Mobile genetic elements in the pathogenesis of human reproductive disorders. [PDF]

Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), or transposons, are autonomous DNA sequences capable of moving and proliferating within the genome. Long considered “selfish” or “junk” DNA, MGEs are now recognized as key components involved in genome evolution, the ...

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.

MGERT: a pipeline to retrieve coding sequences of mobile genetic elements from genome assemblies

Mobile DNA, 2019
Background Genomes of eukaryotes are inhabited by myriads of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) – transposons and retrotransposons - which play a great role in genome plasticity and evolution.

Mobile Genetic Elements in Streptococci [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2019
Streptococci are a group of Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the family Streptococcaceae, which are responsible of multiple diseases. Some of these species can cause invasive infection that may result in life-threatening illness. Moreover, antibiotic-resistant bacteria are considerably increasing, thus imposing a global consideration.

ACLAME: A CLAssification of Mobile genetic Elements [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2004
The ACLAME database (http://aclame.ulb.ac.be) is a collection and classification of prokaryotic mobile genetic elements (MGEs) from various sources, comprising all known phage genomes, plasmids and transposons. In addition to providing information on the full genomes and genetic entities, it aims to build a comprehensive classification of the ...
