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 ...

The ecology of transfer of mobile genetic elements [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2002
The ecological aspects of the transfer and spread of mobile genetic elements (MGE) are reviewed in the context of the emerging evidence for the dominant role that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played in the evolutionary shaping of bacterial communities. Novel tools are described that allow a refined analysis of HGT in natural settings.

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 ...

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 ...

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

, 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.

Searching for active mobile genetic elements in dsRNA fraction of Pinus sylvestris having witches broom abnormalities

Genomics Data, 2017
The most common type of coniferous mobile genetic elements are retrotransposons. Despite of their early positive impact on evolution of modern coniferous species they can have a significant negative impact for Forestry and breeding.

Identifying insertion mutations by whole-genome sequencing

BioTechniques, 2011
Insertion mutagenesis via mobile genetic element is a common technique for the analysis of gene function in model organisms. Next-generation sequencing offers an attractive approach for localizing the site of insertion, but alignment-based mapping of ...
