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.

What traits are carried on mobile genetic elements, and why? [PDF]

Heredity, 2010
Although similar to any other organism, prokaryotes can transfer genes vertically from mother cell to daughter cell, they can also exchange certain genes horizontally.

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.

Host Range and Genetic Plasticity Explain the Coexistence of Integrative and Extrachromosomal Mobile Genetic Elements [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2018
Self-transmissible mobile genetic elements drive horizontal gene transfer between prokaryotes. Some of these elements integrate in the chromosome, whereas others replicate autonomously as plasmids.
